Great Bubhurst

Great Bubhurst is an early 16th-century house, extended around 1727 and altered in 1790. The house is timber framed, with exposed close studding and plaster infill. A later extension is timber framed and clad with tile hanging on the upper floor, with a red and blue brick ground floor. The roof is tiled.

The front of the house has two storeys and a garret, built on a plinth. The first floor is tile hung and features a modillion eaves cornice. Regular fenestration includes three tripartite glazing bar sashes to the first floor and two to the ground floor, with segmental heads to the ground-floor windows. A central door has six panels, a rectangular fanlight, and a moulded, modillioned flat hood on scrolled brackets. To the left of the central door is a datestone reading "William and: P Brown R&H 1727 1790". A ground-floor lean-to, originally a bakehouse or brewery, extends to the left end and now has a half-glazed door to the left return.

A rear wing, dating back to the 16th century and comprising four framed bays, is set at right angles to the front elevation. It has two storeys on a stone plinth with a continuous jetty supported by brackets. The roof is hipped with a gablet to the left and a stack to the rear. The wing has four wooden casements on the first floor, and a tripartite wooden casement, a metal casement, a large tripartite wooden casement with a segmental head, and a glazing bar sash on the ground floor. A blocked doorway is centrally located on the left, with a portion of a re-used moulded beam to the centre right. The ground floor has a half rail throughout. The rear elevation features a catslide outshot and a projecting bread oven with a stack and stoke-holes at two levels and an iron fire-door to the copper.

Inside, a dais screen features vertical lapped boarding and a parlour doorway, alongside a slightly coved dais beam. A doorway to the service end has indented spandrels. Mullioned windows have been particularly well preserved thanks to the outshot. A large inglenook features rounded backs. The roof is a crown-post structure, with rectangular, unmoulded posts. The 18th-century wing has "1790" carved into the rear of the inglenook bressummer and has a straight flight of stairs and landing with stick balusters and turned newels.
