Description
The Wessex Barn and Tudor Cottage are a farmhouse and barn, originally one building, converted into two attached properties. The core of the structure dates back to the 16th century, with later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries, and a 19th-century barn (the Wessex Barn) added to the north side. The walls are constructed of banded flint and stone. The roofs are thatched, with a hipped shape at the southeast corner and a half-hipped shape at the northeast corner. There is an 18th-century brick stack on Tudor Cottage, and two 19th-century brick stacks on the Wessex Barn. The buildings form a rough U-shape.
The west elevation has four windows, featuring hollow-chamfered stone mullions of 2-, 3- and 4-lights, with iron casements containing rectangular leaded quarries. Separate labels are placed above the ground-floor windows. A 20th-century door with a single glass panel is located in the center of the west elevation. A 20th-century pentice-roofed lobby is on the east elevation, with 20th-century plank doors leading into Tudor Cottage and Wessex Barn. Three-light 20th-century casements are set into the southeast gable end.
Inside Tudor Cottage, a 16th-century doorway, now internal, has moulded jambs and a four-centred head. A stone fireplace, originally from Frampton Priory, features straight-chamfered jambs and a head with trefoil-cusped panels, recessed quatrefoils, and square panels; a 20th-century blocking is present within the fireplace. Reset ceiling beams with mounted chamfers from the 16th century are also visible. The south elevation of the Wessex Barn has five windows, with 3-light (ground floor) and 2-light cast-iron casements incorporating glazing-bars. A 20th-century stable-door type front door is on the right side of center, sheltered by a thatched porch canopy supported by wooden posts.
