Dadmans

Dadmans is a house dating from the 17th century and early 18th century. It features a timber frame that is clad and extended in a chequered pattern of red and blue brick, with some areas rendered, and has a plain tiled roof. The entrance front has two storeys and a basement set on a plinth, with six pilaster strips and a slightly projecting center, all heavily rendered. The roof is hipped with a return hip on the right side, and there are stacks located at the center left and rear center.

On the first floor, there are five glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has a canted bay window to the left and two glazing bar sash windows to the right. The central entrance features half-glazed double doors with sidelights in a segment-headed opening. The right return front displays the red and blue chequered brick, complete with a plinth and plat band.

Inside, heavy beams are visible, and there is a 17th-century staircase with splat balusters and a moulded handrail, designed in a dog-leg with a winder plan. Additionally, there is an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a panelled dado. This house was originally the Roper dower house for Lynsted Park.
