Description
Lamberts and Yew Tree Cottage is a house that has been converted into a pair of houses. It dates back to the 15th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 16th century and further changes in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame, with some exposed close-studding and plaster infill. The ground floor is partly clad in red brick, while the first floor is tile hung. It has a plain tiled roof and is designed in a truncated Wealden style with large cross-wings.
The front of the building is highly irregular, consisting of three sections, each two storeys high, with stacks at the left end and a central moulded cluster. On the first floor to the left, there is a three-light metal casement window, while the ground floor has a combination of wooden and metal casements, a bay window, and a boarded door under a pentice. The central gable, which is the original truncated Wealden, features two wooden casements and a small glazing bar sash on the ground floor. The right return has a bracket at the gable end, indicating a lost jettied wing, with overhanging eaves and a four-light leaded casement on each floor, the ground floor window having mullions and transoms. There is a boarded door on the left end. The right-hand range has two leaded wooden casements on each floor and a boarded door in the centre.
The garden front is similarly irregular, with a large stack on the left that has a boarded door set within it, a projecting 20th-century drawing room extension in the centre, and a truncated stack to the right with five irregularly placed windows.
Inside Lamberts, the hall area of the Wealden remains, featuring moulded and brattished beams at both ends, chamfered and moulded ceiling beams, and an inglenook fireplace made of sandstone blocks with triangular-headed recesses. The crown-post roof includes a short moulded post with a cap and base. The kitchen fireplace has a bread oven, and the close-studded wing contains a terminal outshut. The interior of Yew Tree Cottage has not been inspected.
