Weavers

Weavers is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 17th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure with exposed close studding and a small panel frame, while the left return is weather boarded. The roof is plain tiled. Originally, it was built as a Wealden hall house. The building has two storeys and an attic, set on a plinth, with a jetty supported by brackets on the left end bay and a jettied end post and beam on the right end, although the storeyed bay at this end has been removed.

The house has two recessed hall bays, with eaves supported by raking braces. There are stacks at the right end (rebuilt in the 20th century in an earlier outshot), at the rear left, and clustered at the centre left. The projecting gable on the left has moulded bargeboards and a pendant, featuring a three-light mullioned window in the gable head, a four-light oriel window on brackets on the first floor, and a canted brick bay on the ground floor with four-light mullioned and transomed windows. The centre of the first floor has a three-light mullioned window, and to the right, there is a three-light oriel on a scrolled bracket, along with a four-light ovolo moulded mullioned window on the ground floor. The entrance features a 20th-century plank and stud door set within a four-centred arched doorway with sunk spandrels. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot.

Inside, the roof has been altered, but a crown post truss remains in the west wall. The hall was ceiled over in the 16th century and features fine moulded beams along with a moulded chimney bresummer above a moulded red brick and sandstone fireplace. A plank and muntin partition with a wave and fillet moulded dais beam survives from the 15th century at the west end of the hall, indicating that the lost west end of the house was originally the parlour end. The current external frame of the west wall is characteristic of the 17th century and is unrelated to the internal partition. The internal plaster of the hall walls has a simple pargetted pattern. The outshot, likely from the 17th or 18th century, has a much lower floor level than the main range, with an exposed mullioned window in the main rear wall and a framed gallery projecting into the outshot, made from old timbers of indeterminate date. There is also a cellar located below the end right bay.
