Summary

Grade II listed farmhouse, now a house. Built in the early 17th with late 17th century and later alterations. Original portion is part timber framed with wattle and daub infill. The additions are in rubblestone and brick, now over-painted in black and white. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to created solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
