Great Budds

Great Budds is an 18th-century farmhouse. The ground floor is built of red brick, while the first floor is tile-hung with some visible timber framing. The building has a moulded eaves cornice and a half-hipped tiled roof with three hipped dormers. It is two storeys and an attic, with a three-window front. The windows are three-light casements in the outer bays and a two-light window in the centre of the first floor. A central entrance features a panelled door, overlight, and flat hood. A catslide roof extends to the rear, where modern additions are located. The interior includes a dining room, which may contain evidence of earlier work, alongside a rubble stone wall recently revealed, featuring a base-rib moulding and two stone reliefs of religious subjects. It is likely this stone was reused after the demolition of a medieval chapel at Shipbourne to make way for Gibbs's Church.
