Little Harts Heath

Little Harts Heath is a house, now divided into two houses, dating from the 15th or early 16th century. It is timber framed with plaster infilling and has a plain tile roof. The building is designed in the Wealden style, featuring one long storeyed left end bay and two roughly equal-length open-hall bays, along with a storeyed right end bay. There may have been a third hall bay that is no longer present. The structure has two storeys and an attic, with close-studded framing. The left end bay jetties out and is underbuilt in painted brick. There is a short arch brace at the left end of the flying wall-plate, with a later brace at the right end. The two principal posts at the center and present right end of the open hall have full-height slender attached shafts with moulded polygonal capitals. The close-studded coving is located beneath the flying wall-plate. The roof is steeply pitched, hipped to the left and gabled to the right. A multiple filleted red and grey brick stack is positioned on the front slope of the roof at the right end of the long left bay. There is a small gabled two-light dormer and irregular fenestration featuring three leaded casements: one three-light in the left end bay, one three-light in the left hall bay, and one two-light in the right hall bay. There are boarded doors on the left side and at the right end. A timber-framed lean-to is attached to the right, complete with a tall slender stack. The interior has not been inspected.
