Johnings

Johnings is a house that dates from the late 16th century on the left side and has a date of 1815 on the right side. It is built of chalk rubble brought to course, with limestone dressings on the left and squared chalk on the right, topped with a thatched roof and featuring brick stacks. The original two-unit plan has been extended by two additional units, along with a rear wing added in the early 19th century. The house is one and a half stories high and has a four-window range.

On the left, there is a late 16th-century studded door with decorative ironwork on the straps and handle, along with bars over a sliding shutter. To the right is a 19th-century plank door. The left side features three-light stone-mullioned windows with splayed surrounds, fitted with 20th-century plate glass but retaining original iron fittings. The right side has timber lintels over two- and one-light leaded casements, with one casement having plate glass inserted. The 16th-century section includes one similar three-light window and a two-light stone-mullioned ovolo-moulded window that lights the stairs, along with three-light leaded casements at the rear of the 19th-century right side. The house has end stacks and a half-flipped roof.

Inside, there are 19th-century two-panelled and plank doors. A cambered bressumer is located over the left 16th-century fireplace, which includes a small salt/spice cupboard with its original door and butterfly hinges. The interior features a timber-framed central partition wall, original beams with stop-chamfered edges, and a 20th-century staircase in its original position, within a five-sided projection from the rear wall. The first floor has a 16th-century panelled door and collar-trusses with butt purlins, and a jowled central post with veiling beams morticed into the collars. The right side from the 19th century is more plain but retains chamfered beams. The early 19th-century rear wing is built of random bond brick with a Welsh slate roof, maintaining the one and a half stories and four-window range, and features a two-bay post and pad truss.
