Numbers 11 And 12 Including Attached Wall To Number 11 And Summerhouses In Garden Of Number 11

Numbers 11 and 12 form two properties which were originally separate houses. The rear range of Number 11 dates back to approximately 1500 and was a three-bay open hall house. The right-hand portion of the front range of Number 12 is a house from around 1650, incorporating a wing and cellar, which was combined with the rear range in the late 18th century. An 18th-century timber-framed building, likely a cloth store (part of Number 11), was linked at this time, and the entire structure was refurbished around 1890 and again in 1968, creating an L-shaped building.

The building is timber framed, with close-studding visible at the front of Number 12. Number 11 has weatherboarding on the first floor and is stuccoed on the ground floor. The rear elevation is covered in two courses of alternating plain and pointed tiles. The roof is covered in Horsham stone slabs, with a 17th-century ribbed brick chimneystack on Number 11 and a 19th-century brick chimneystack on Number 12. The building is two storeys and has attics to the south, with three windows. The front features mostly 18th-century 12-pane sashes, one tripartite sash, and a two-storey canted bay to the south. Three gables are present, with the south gable projecting and featuring moulded bargeboards. Number 12 has a half-glazed door, while Number 11 has a four-panelled door flanked by sidelights. Modern garage doors have been added to Number 11. The rear elevation has fretted bargeboards, late 19th-century windows, and some square bays. Some original glass remains.

Attached to Number 12 along Morth Gardens is a 19th-century brick wall with decorative ironwork at the top, featuring elaborate intertwined foliage. Inside Number 11, a central open fireplace with a bressumer from around 1650 has been preserved, along with a wattle and daub panel. A fireplace from 1770, with smoke-blackened rafters above the former open hall, is also present.

In the garden of Number 11 are two linked summerhouses. The western summerhouse, likely dating from around 1885, and the eastern summerhouse, from approximately 1780, are built in a Picturesque Gothic style. They were originally connected by greenhouses and served as combined gazebos and potting sheds. The western building is single-storey with attics and is tiled with alternating courses of plain brown tiles and curved red tiles, matching the rear of Number 12. It has a tiled roof with a brick chimneystack, a projecting gable with fretted bargeboards, a finial, a pendant, an oculus to the attic, three pointed arched windows, and a pointed arched doorcase with a half-glazed door. It is linked by a brick wall to a taller, narrower eastern building of red brick with some grey headers to the side elevation and polychrome brick dressings. This building has a tiled roof with alternating courses of plain and curved tiles, a gable with fretted bargeboards, a finial, a pendant, a blank oculus, pivoting casements to the first floor, lancets on the ground floor and a central plank door. These are unusually elaborate dual-purpose garden buildings.
