Patsom House

Patsom House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 17th century or earlier and was enlarged in the 18th century, with further alterations and enlargements made in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with brick nogging and some tile hanging, topped with a red tile roof. It has a single-depth, three-unit plan, with an addition at the west end.

The house is two storeys high and has three windows on the first floor. The north front displays exposed timber framing, including a flint plinth in the center, with elements such as a sill, wallposts, mid-rail, wallplate, secondary rails, and studs, along with one down-brace. There is a central doorway, a two-light fixed stair-window to the left at mid-level, two single-light windows to the right on the ground floor, a three-light casement window above the door on the first floor, and a square window to the right of this. An added single-storey service wing is located at the left end, and there is a ridge chimney.

The left (east) gable wall also has exposed timber framing with passing braces. The rear of the house features timber framing that appears to have been modernly rebuilt, with nailed joints and no sill, along with modern casement and French windows on the ground floor, and two weather-boarded gablets above the first-floor windows. At the west end, there is a one-bay 18th-century addition with a segmental-headed window on the ground floor. In front of the right-hand end is a prominent single-storey addition that is not of special interest.

Inside, there is a chimney stack situated between two closely spaced cross-frames, which may indicate a former smoke bay, and a small inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressummer. The roof is constructed with common rafters, and there is a timber-framed longitudinal passage partition in the center bay, which is likely a modern addition.
