Speen Farmhouse

Speen Farmhouse is a house that features a 15th-century cross wing and a main range built around 1600, which was rebuilt in flint with brick dressings around 1800. The building has an old tile roof that is hipped to the right over the cross wing. There are rebuilt brick chimney shafts located at the center and left, with one shaft removed from the center. The house is two storeys high, with an attic and three bays. The windows are irregular 20th-century barred wooden casements with segmental heads, and the center first-floor window breaks through the eaves. There are two gabled dormers with paired casements. A 20th-century door with a timber porch is located to the left of the central chimney, and another 20th-century door with flanking single lights is found in the right bay.

At the rear, there is a large gable to the left with chamfered brick window jambs, and the roof sweeps down over a central lean-to, which has 20th-century double doors to the left of the right bay. Inside, the cross wing contains two cruck trusses and one bay with heavy 15th-century floor joists. The center bay features heavy timber framing in the rear wall and partition with the cross wing, a large open fireplace with an altered lintel, a moulded spine beam, and stop-chamfered joists. The cross passage to the south of the central chimney has similar joists and stop-chamfered spine. This range includes curved braces, queen strut trusses, and wind-braces. Attached at right angles to the right end of the house is a single-storey flint and brick range that was formerly used as cow-sheds but now has 20th-century metal casements.
