Description
Great Pagehurst Place is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed, featuring red and grey brick on the ground floor in Flemish bond and tile-hung on the first floor. It has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high on a low stone plinth. The roof is hipped, with the left hip returning and a slightly higher ridge. A prominent 17th-century brick ridge stack is located to the left of the center, featuring four octagonal brick flues with moulded capitals and bases, grouped around a central diamond-shaped shaft and set on a moulded brick plinth. The fenestration is irregular, consisting of six 2-pane sash windows arranged in a 2:1:2:1 pattern. There is a panelled door with two top lights and a flat corniced hood located under the stack. To the left, there is a rear return wing constructed with the same materials, which has a ridge stack towards the rear and two first-floor sashes. A further rear wing runs parallel to the main range, filling the angle between the main range and the return wing; this wing is likely of similar date but has higher eaves and ridge, terminating behind the main-range stack with a jettied gable. The interior has not been inspected.
