Chambers Cottages Chambers Cottages And Underlynn Farm Cottages Underlynn Farm Cottages

Chambers Cottages and Underlynn Farm Cottages are a group of cottages that were originally a farmhouse, dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century. They were restored between 1985 and 1986. The building is timber framed with rendered infilling and has a plain tile roof. It features a Wealden design, with an open hall consisting of two roughly equal-length hall bays, one of which is subdivided, along with storeyed end bays. The structure has two storeys and sits on a plinth.

The right and left storeyed end bays project forward and are jettied, with the jetties supported by plain dragon posts. The building has close-studded timber framing, and the left hall bay has a slightly higher midrail. There are arch braces and straight coving on the flying wall-plate, and a solid-spandrel bracket supports the central tie-beam. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, featuring gablets.

There is a projecting red and grey brick stack on the left gable end and another multiple red and grey brick stack at the left end of the right hall bay. The windows are irregularly arranged and include four casements: a two-light in the left end bay, a three-light in the left hall bay, a single-light above the door, and a three-light in the right end bay. The left hall bay has a projecting moulding on the midrail, which may be a fragment of an oriel window, and there is a former hall window-cill just above the ground cill of the same bay.

A four-centred arched doorway with hollow spandrels and a boarded door is located at the right end of the right hall bay. There is also a rear lean-to. The road is marked as Underling Lane on the Ordnance Survey map.
