Comforts Place

Comforts Place is a house dating largely to the 15th century, with additions from the 17th and 19th centuries. The ground floor on the left-hand side is red brick, with brick infill on the right, and the upper part is tile hung with a Horsham slab roof, half-hipped on the right. It has two fine 17th-century paired ridge stacks with moulded details at the top and bottom, positioned to the left of the centre. The facade features a brick dentil band with blue headers over the ground floor to the left and centre, and has three five-light casement windows on the first floor. A studded planked door, set within a 19th-century timber-framed, half-glazed gable porch, is located to the left of the centre. A single-storey, half-hipped extension is attached to the rear on the left-hand side, extending to the right. Inside, the house includes tiled and stone floors, a Tudor stone fireplace with a brick flue back in a deep fireplace, with moulded spandrels and the date 1597 carved on the lintel; a 19th-century copy of the fireplace is located in a ground floor room on the left. Visible partition and ceiling framing is also present.
