Sepham Court

Sepham Court is a late mediaeval hall house with subsequent alterations. The main front has two storeys and an attic, arranged in four bays. The two left bays project forward and are each topped with hipped gables of differing heights. The building has high-pitched tiled roofs, hipped to the right, with tile hanging to the first floor and brickwork below. The two right bays appear to date to the 18th century, featuring a moulded wooden eaves cornice, and are topped with two hipped dormers. Most of the windows are 19th-century casements, although two late 19th-century canted bays are found on the right-hand side. A rendered east wall is present, and the roof slopes low at the rear. A large, offset chimney with tumbled brickwork is located at the west end, and the first-floor level on the left-hand side juts out, with visible beam ends. The interior contains substantial, heavy exposed timber framing, including a crown post in the attic. The property derives its name from John de Cepham, who owned the manor during the reign of Edward III.
