Description

Duck Bottom is a 17th-century house that was altered in the 18th century, located on Flint Street in Haddenham. The building is constructed of witchert, which is colourwashed and roughcast, and features old tile roofs. The left part of the house has two bays and two storeys, while the right part is slightly lower with two wide bays and also two storeys. The entrance is through a central board door, and there are three-light leaded casements with flanking stacks. The right bays were originally a stable and outbuilding but were raised to two storeys and converted into living accommodation around 1930. The left bay has three-light casements, a central two-light casement, and a gable stack.

Attached to the south-west is a witchert garden wall, partially rendered, built on a rubble plinth with a tile and cement ridge coping. At the west end of this wall is a witchert garden room topped with a pyramidal thatched roof. Inside the house, there is a brick lean-to staircase featuring a moulded handrail and lattice balustrade. At the rear, there are two 18th-century three-light leaded casements, although the southern triplet is now blocked. The ground and first-floor rooms have chamfered and stopped spine beams.
