Scufflings is tile hung above brick underbuilding, making use of grey headers in English 'garden wall' bond (three stretchers, one header). It has a tiled roof, endshot with a dormer on the south side. The main house is of four bays, but the northern bay is a later addition. There is another later wing on the south-east. In the original, three bay house, there are large back to back hearths to a central chimney stack. There are also first floor hearths. The present access is onto the side of the stack, but there is evidence in the brickwork to the north of the present porch for an earlier doorway. Details on the northern wall of the original three bay house suggest the first build was c1590-1620. There were lean-tos on the east and south. The eastern wing may have been added next, replacing the lean-to and the house extended by a northern bay c1650-1700+. The attic was always intended for use. In 1840 Scufflings was in use as two cottages. 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. |
