Jeffries

Jeffries is a house located on Hedsor Road in Bourne End, dating from the early 18th century, with possible later alterations in the 18th century and a 19th to 20th-century extension to the right. The building features chequer brick construction and an old tile roof, with a brick chimney positioned to the right. It is a single pile structure with a hipped stair turret at the center rear and an outshot at the rear of the left bay. The house stands two storeys high with an attic and has two bays.

Architectural details include a chamfered plinth, a gauged band course at the first floor, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The 20th-century paired barred wooden casements have gauged heads, while the attic casements are set in hipped dormers with moulded cornices. There is a blind window panel at the center of the first floor above a blocked doorway, which has a 20th-century matching panel and a small round window. A sun fire insurance plaque is also present. The left gable displays the letters HIA in blue header brick, along with a canted bay window from the 19th to 20th century.

To the right, there are brick extensions with plain tile roofs and barred wooden casements. A half-glazed door on the left is topped with a pediment hood and flanked by single lights. Inside, the house features a notable early 18th-century staircase with three twisted balusters on each tread, shaped scroll tread ends, a moulded handrail, and fluted column newels. There is a re-set pine fireplace in the ground floor left room, complete with a moulded architrave, frieze block, and cornice, as well as a re-set wooden bolection moulding on the fireplace in the upper right room.
