Description
Kings End House is a farmhouse with an early 17th-century front and a mid to late 19th-century rear. The front features close-studded timber-framing, with some wattle and daub infill and brick nogging, while the rear is constructed with Sussex bond brickwork and has a tiled roof. The building has a three-bay front, is two rooms deep, and stands two storeys high.
The front elevation shows timber framing with two panels high per floor. There is a central, gabled single-storey porch made of painted brickwork, featuring a semi-circular opening with a chamfered arris. The porch has slit windows on the sides and a four-panel front door, which has a flush bottom and heavy fielding at the top. To the left, there is a 19th-century two-light casement window in its original opening, with a chamfered head and brick infill below. To the right, a window was removed at the time of the survey in 1985, which has a cambered brick arch above it. The framing has been replaced by brickwork to the right and above up to the eaves, although the corner post survives.
On the first floor, there are three two-light casements with small panes. The roof is of 'M' shape, and the gable returns to the front are timber framed. There is a rendered external chimney breast at the center of each gable, with a brick top. Some render was still covering the framing on the right gable at the time of the survey. The left rear gable has scattered 20th-century windows in earlier openings with cambered brick arches, while the right rear gable features one two-light casement per floor, also with a cambered brick arch. A central chimney is located on the ridge of the rear half. The interior was not inspected. The 19th-century brickwork at the rear may be a refacing or partial rebuilding of earlier work, and the front half was rendered over at some later stage, with the render largely removed at the time of the survey. The front roof appears to have had new purlins installed in the mid to late 19th century.
