Description
Graylingwell Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now part of Graylingwell Hospital, likely built in the early 18th century. It features red brick construction with tile roofs, some flint walling at the rear, and old render at the front. The building is two storeys high with six irregular bays, a plinth, and a wooden modillion cornice. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, appear to be modern replacements. The first two bays on the ground floor contain a large rectangular bay window, probably from the 20th century, while the third bay has a plastered porch with anelled pilasters and a recent roof. Dormers are present over the first, third, and sixth bays, and there are gable stacks. The gable walls feature storey bands. At the rear, there is a hipped roof stair tower with a blocked round-headed window, flanked by later additions, although an original outshut with a catslide roof exists on the north side. A large Victorian cross-wing is located to the south, along with additional later structures.
Inside, the farmhouse contains an early 19th-century plain stair. The room to the right of the entrance hall features an early 18th-century cornice that extends around the cross beam. Upstairs, there is one eight-panelled small-framed door that may be original. The roof is constructed with oak members and is of the butt-purlin type, with some oak pegs for the tiles still surviving.
