HILDENBOROUGH LONDON ROAD (north east side) TQ 54 NE 5/136 The Flying Dutchman Public House - II Public House. C17 or earlier origins with extensive remodelling of the circa 1840s. Framed construction, thoroughly underbuilt in brick with some weatherboard cladding, the C19 front elevation brick with tile-hanging to the first floor; peg-tile roof; brick stacks. Plan: South-facing. Double depth plan, 2 rooms wide, the early parts of the building to the rear (north) and west. Later alterations have obscured the original arrangement but both the 2-cell, 2-phase west crosswing and the rear range, roofed on a west east axis, are probably C17. The front block, roofed parallel to the rear block, is a circa 1840s addition. Exterior: 2 storeys, the crosswing with an attic. Gabled roofs. Asymmetrical 2-window front, the gable of the west crosswing to the left, the main entrance alongside into the south block with a C19 enclosed timber porch with curly bargeboards with pendants. C20 door into the crosswing to the left under a pent roof. 2- and 3-light C19 or early C20 small-pane timber casements. C19 axial stack to the south block. 3 windows to the left (north) return, which is weatherboarded, with C19 or C20 casement windows with an axial stack. The rear (north) block has an axial stack with a handmade brick shaft and C19 cap. Interior: Largely modernized on the ground floor with internal partitions altered. The rear block stack has an open fireplace on the west side (in the lounge bar) with handmade brick jambs, a chamfered timber lintel and a bread oven. Roof: The west crosswing roof is C17 with a tie-beam, queen posts and clasped purlins. The roof of the rear wing is largely inaccessible but most of the rafters appear to have been replaced.
