Hammett

This is a farmhouse dating from around the mid-18th century, although it may have an earlier core. The front elevation was remodelled in the mid-19th century. The structure is built of stone rubble with brick dressings to the front, with a rendered left-hand gable end. It has a slate roof with gable ends and projecting stone rubble stacks on the left-hand gable, one of which has been heightened with brick. A 20th-century brick stack is on the right-hand gable. There are also stone rubble and brick stacks at the rear, associated with an outshut. The farmhouse has a cross passage layout and is 3 rooms wide, with an integral rear outshut which originally served as a dairy, buttery, and pantry. It is two storeys high, with a regular five-window front. The ground floor has four 19th-century sash windows, three with 12 panes and one with a 3/6 pane configuration. A central door is sheltered by a 20th-century glazed lean-to porch. Above, there are five 12-pane sashes. The rear elevation features two segmental dressed stone arches on the ground floor, and a timber lintel over the rear door. A corrugated iron lean-to outshut is also present. The interior has not been inspected. The site is associated with the Domesday Manor and was owned by the Bruyn family in the 14th century.
