Formerly TQ 85 SW 44

A Wealden house of which the two-bay open hall and parlour end survive but the service end, which may or may not have been contemporary, has been demolished. The details are extremely elaborate and suggest a date either very late in the 15th century or very early in the 16th century. (2)
