Description
Two houses and a shop, originally a timber-framed open hall house dating from circa 1300-1330, with a contemporary crosswing to the north. The building was refronted in 1907. Number 63 is faced in painted brick, while number 65 is stuccoed, with the crosswing being weatherboarded and gabled. The roof is tiled, featuring a gablet to number 63 and a cruciform stack to number 65. Number 62 has two 19th-century sash windows on the first floor, a canted bay window on the ground floor, and a modern door to the left. Number 65 features two modern three-light casements, a modern door, and a shop front.
The north elevation displays 14th-century flamboyant curved bracing, including passing braces, and was originally jettied. It retains two original 14th-century narrow trefoliated lancet windows, which are a rare survival. The building also contains closely spaced floor joists to the shop, and on the first floor two ogee-headed arches, originally leading to the first-floor hall, along with massive arched braces. A corner post is square in section with quadripartite braces. The building’s historical significance is detailed in publications by R T Mason, including "Framed buildings of the Weald" (pages 24, 54, and 75) and “3 Medieval Houses in East Sussex” (Sussex Archaeological Collections, Vol XCI).
