TQ 56 43 BIDBOROUGH HIGH STREET (east side)
11/15 No 9
GV II
Small house, 2 cottages in 1956 (National Monuments Record photograph). Probably late C18/early C19 with renovations of 1988. Plastered brick to the ground floor with weatherboarded framing above; peg-tile roof; brick stack.
Plan: West facing, sited below the churchyard. The original arrangement was probably 2 2-cell cotages, the principal rooms to the front sharing the axial stack with unheated service rooms to the rear, with front doors on the west elevation to left and right, probably facing the stairs. The front doors have been removed and the house is now entered on the left (north) end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2 window front with C20 12-pane sashes to the ground floor, copying earlier C19 windows, similar sash to first floor right. The left hand first floor window is a 2-light Cl9 or C20 timber casement with glazing bars.
Interior: Not inspected but said to have exposed framing.
One of a row of small vernacular houses, group value with the church.
