Radnage Bottom Farmhouse

Radnage Bottom Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries, with alterations made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The exterior was largely rebuilt in flint with brick dressings, with the right bay being a brick addition from the early 19th century. A brick band course runs along the first floor level, and the right-hand block has dentil eaves. The roof is tiled, with a hip over the right block, and the chimneys are made of thin brick. The house is two storeys high and comprises a two-bay range to the left, which may incorporate remains of an earlier hall, and a projecting cross wing to the right. The right wing has two diagonal chimney shafts to the rear of the front bay. Later additions extend the rear of the right wing. The right bays have large 20th-century leaded casement windows and a centrally positioned 20th-century door in a gabled timber porch. The left bays have leaded casements in older openings, largely with 20th-century glazing; the paired casement to the first floor on the right has older diamond glazing. A gabled porch is located at the left end. An old three-light casement window with patterned leading is found at the angle to the rear of the right bay. Inside the front bay of the cross wing are fine thin brick fireplaces with four-centred chamfered arches on both floors. An upper room in the left bay contains a corner cupboard with 16th–17th century carved panels and a frieze, and an overmantel with Ionic pilasters and curved panels of a similar date. These architectural details were likely reused. Timber-framed inner walls are present, double between the wings, and the left wall may display traces of former cruck construction.
