Luckhurst

Luckhurst is a farmhouse dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and plaster infilling, topped with a plain tile roof. The building exhibits a Wealden style, featuring two unequal-length hall bays and a storeyed bay at the right end, with slight evidence of a now-demolished storeyed bay to the left. The farmhouse stands two storeys high on a brick plinth and has close studding. The right end bay jetties out, with the jetty returning (though underbuilt) on a moulded dragon post. A moulded fillet runs halfway up the first floor of the right bay, and there are no braces to the flying wallplate. A solid bracket supports the central tie-beam. The roof is hipped with gablets, and there is a multiple brick ridge stack in the narrow right end bay of the hall.

The fenestration is irregular, with three windows on each floor. The right end of the left bay of the hall features a two-storey canted bay from the 15th or early 16th century, which is close-studded and set on a later brick base, with moulded cills below each window. The ground floor has a three-light casement window, while the first floor has a four-light casement window below the eaves. The right hall bay includes a three-light ovolo-moulded mullion window on the first floor and a similar four-light window on the ground floor. The right end bay has a four-light ovolo-moulded mullion window on the first floor and a seven-light casement on the ground floor. There is a broad ribbed door to the left end of the right end bay, framed by an architrave with a moulded four-centred arched head and carved spandrels.

Inside, the farmhouse features exposed framing, with moulded and brattished ends of hall beams and a moulded beam on the right side of the cross-passage. The stairs are located in front of the stack, and there is a moulded crown-post.
