Description

Little Pagehurst is a farmhouse dating from the 15th or early 16th century, with later alterations. It is timber framed, with most of the left end bay and part of the right end bay clad in red and grey brick in English bond at the ground floor. The rest of the front elevation is weatherboarded, and the first floor of the left gable end is tile-hung. The roof is plain tiled and features a Wealden design, with an open hall consisting of two slightly unequal-length timber-framed bays and storeyed end bays. The building has two storeys and a garret, with both the right and left end bays jettied to the front. There is an arch-braced flying wall-plate and a solid-spandrel bracket under the central tie-beam end. The roof is gabled to the left and hipped to the right, with a gablet. A slightly projecting red and grey brick stack in English bond is located at the left gable end, and there is a multiple brick ridge stack at the left end of the shorter right hall bay. The fenestration is irregular, featuring four leaded wood mullion windows: one three-light window in the left end bay, one three-light window in the left hall bay that rises through the eaves with the flying wall-plate cut away in front of it, one small two-light window above the door, and one two-light window in the right end bay. The door to the right end of the right hall bay is ribbed with a four-centred arched head, and there is a blocked four-centred arched doorway in the rear wall opposite. A rear wing is set back from the left gable end and has a lower ridge; it is constructed of red and grey brick in header bond at the ground floor, weatherboarded above, and has a half-hipped plain tile roof. The interior has not been inspected.
