Description
Gravelye is a former farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th century. It is a two-bay structure with an end chimney stack, which has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, while the first floor is tile hung, topped with a tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high with attics and features two windows. The first floor includes two original four-light wooden ovolo-moulded mullioned and transomed windows, while the ground floor has 20th-century three-light casements. To the left side, there is a 20th-century built-out gabled porch with a simple plank door. Two corner posts are exposed on the ground floor, and there are two external brick chimney stacks. The rear of the house has 20th-century additions that match the original style.
Inside, there is a large bressummer above the fireplace, with chamfered beams and run-out stops, as well as a spice cupboard. The ground floor features four chambered beams with run-out stops, original floorboards, and some carpenter's marks. The roof was likely of queen post or strut type, although the posts are missing; the collars and purlins remain intact.
