Please read our .

Summary

Grade II listed farmhouse built in the late 17th century. It is timber-framed with rendered infill. There is a brick addition to the left which has been painted in a simulation of timber-framing. Inside the dining room has a bread oven built into the side of the hearth. 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 create 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.
