Description

This is a cottage, originally dating to around 1500, with alterations and additions made in the 17th century and later. The front wall was rebuilt in 1697, as indicated by the inscription "WRM" on the moulded brickwork. Further alterations occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries, with a wing added in 1976.

The cottage is timber-framed with wattle and daub infill, partially replaced by brick. The front and ends have been re-walled using knapped flint with red brick quoins and dressings; the rear wall retains framed construction. The thatched roof has a decorative ridge, with one side tipped and brick stacks at the hip and gable end. The building is single storey with an attic, featuring two eyebrow dormers to the front and two dormers at the rear, added in 1976. A late 20th-century single-storey brick wing with a tiled roof is attached to the gable end.

Originally a hall house in four framed bays, it includes a 17th-century framed outshut under an extended roof against the rear wall. The front features a late 20th-century gabled and glazed entrance porch, with 20th-century casement windows set within original brick segmental arches. To the right is another doorway with a 20th-century door and a 19th-century casement. The rear outshut wall has square panel framing with four casements.

Internally, the former hall occupies the two right-hand bays, containing a late 17th-century inglenook fireplace built into the original smoke bay, with a floor inserted to create an attic space. The roof rafters are smoke-blackened. Wall framing, masked by the outshut, features upper angle braces. There are exposed bridging beams and joists, along with another 18th or 19th-century inglenook fireplace at the gable end. The roof trusses include queen struts to the collar ties.

The 1697 alterations were undertaken by Robert and Mary Wells. Historical research documented in "Hall Maurice. Bosham and its Berkeley Barons - A Mediaeval Manor" (held at the West Sussex Records Office) provides further context.

A separate description notes a possible 18th-century or earlier building with two storeys and two windows, constructed with flint and red brick dressings and quoins. It has a hipped thatched roof with two eyebrow dormers and casement windows, alongside a modern gabled porch.
