Puttenham Place Farmhouse

Puttenham Place Farmhouse is a building that dates back to the 15th or 16th century, with later additions encased in 18th century and more recent brick, and some exposed timber framing. The structure features a central hall flanked by cross wings to the north and south, with an additional wing to the south that serves as a separate cottage.

The west elevation has a two-window center with a door and a modern wooden porch. To the left, there is a window in a gabled wing that displays a pattern of vitrified headers, along with a first-floor band course and a brick arch with a projecting key and impost bricks. The windows are modern casements, while the right-hand gable has modern casements and a central brick section, with the far right gable being blank and of recent date.

On the south elevation, the right part features a first-floor band course and a flint plinth with a small inset stone carved with quatrefoils. The left part has three recent casements and a central door with a wooden porch. The east elevation shows a gable on the far left with a first-floor band, four openings above with gauged arches and moulded hoods, and a two-storey porch of recent brickwork, with one casement per gable. The porch is open on the ground floor with a concrete lintel. There is a recessed section of the hall on the right that has exposed timber framing, including two full-height posts, one resting on a sarsen stone base. The right-hand gable is rendered over timber framing.

The north elevation has the left part rendered over timber framing with brick and lath and plaster infill, and a projecting stack in the center with two tiled offsets. The right part is made of 18th century brick and features a first-floor band course and two blocked windows. The roofs are covered with plain clay tiles, with the north wing and hall roofs having a higher ridge than the south wing. There is a large central stack with a moulded sailing course and two plain stacks on the south wing.

Inside, extensive timber framing is visible, including a heavily moulded wall plate and arched braced trusses above the hall, where the first-floor beam and timber corbel details appear to be from the 17th century.
