Description
Little Haywards Farm is a house, originally a 15th-century timber-framed hall house that was refronted in the early 19th century. The ground floor is constructed of brown brick laid on a brick plinth, while the first floor is tile hung. Sections of the original timber framing are still visible. The steeply pitched tiled roof has gablets and a central chimney stack. The house has two storeys and three windows, featuring 19th-century casement windows. A plank door is present. A section projects to the rear, displaying remnants of the original timber frame. A 19th-century brick extension, with a tiled roof, adjoins the main structure. The interior includes a sans-purlin roof and a moulded dais beam dating back to around 1400. The house is described in detail by Mason in "Framed Buildings of the Weald" and by Grabe & Ford in "The Metropolis of Mid Sussex."
