The elevations of the building are tile hung at first floor above brick underbuilding, the roofs are tiled with an uneven ridge line. There are three distinct elements, the central four bays which are flanked by a 2-bay southern wing with a higher ridge and a modern northern wing with a room above the garage. There are end chimney stacks. The entry is, and probably always was, slightly off centre to the north of the four bay range. Both the southern wing and the central bays are without ridge boards indicating pre-1750 builds. Since the original outer wall of the central range can be identified, and the ridge is higher, the wing must be later. The roof construction and the surviving detail of the central bays suggest a date just before or just after 1700, so the additional wing could have been added within a generation. The central wing is now without evidence of original heating. The most likely explanation is that originally one or two end chimney stacks served the early range and when the wing was built the southern stack was re-sited and the northern stack rebuilt. These notes have been compiled from survey reports prepared by Dr Annabelle Hughes. The original reports have been deposited in the Sussex Archaeological Society Library, Barbican House, Lewes, where they can be consulted by researchers. |
