Description
The Wealden Hall Restaurant is a farmhouse that has been converted into a restaurant. It dates from the late 14th century on the right side, with a mid-17th century block on the left. The main block features exposed timber-framing with curved braces and brick infilling. The first floors of the service and solar ends project forward on brackets and joists, with a dragon post on the right. There is a central recess supported by two curved braces, and the building has a plain tiled hipped roof with gablets, a gabled dormer on the left, a central off-ridge stack at the front, and an end stack on the right.
The structure is two storeys high with an irregular two-window front. All windows are located in the central recess except for one window on the left side of the ground floor, which is situated under the right-hand jetty. Most windows are glazing bar sashes, except for a non-opening window with glazing bars on the ground floor to the right. To the right of the recess, there is an arched doorway featuring a 20th-century boarded and ribbed door, and to the left, a two-storey bay window.
The extension is timber-framed and exposed on the first floor, with red brick dressings. The ground floor is made of coursed rubble stone with red brick dressings. It has a plain tiled roof with a central ridge stack, is two storeys tall with cellars, and has an irregular two-window front. Most windows are glazing bar sashes, except for a casement window on the first floor to the left. There is one segment-headed collar light to the right and a 20th-century boarded and ribbed door with a pentice hood, located off-centre to the left.
At the rear of the main block, there is a gabled stair-tower. Inside, the hall has been floored over and features a collar-purlin roof with a crown-post. There is a longitudinal crown-post roof over the first floor of the service end, which may be remnants of the upper floor hall from which the house was later developed.
