TQ 55 SPELDHURST LOWER GREEN ROAD, SPELDHURST
12/538 Smallbrook Cottage
II
Former farmhouse, once 3 cottages, now a house. Probably mid C17, extensively refurbished circa 1980 when cottages were reunited to a single house. Timber- framed on brick footings, some exposed but most hung with peg-tile. Brick stack (maybe on stone base) and brick chimneyshaft. Peg-tile roof.
Plan: 3-room lobby entrance plan house facing north. It seems that only the centre room was originally heated. Its axial stack backs onto the right (west) end room, the end windows of which suggest it was originally a pair of service rooms. Details of the plan cannot be described in detail without an internal inspection.
2 storeys with attics in the roofspace.
Exterior: Irregular 2:1:1-window front of C20 casements containing rectangular panes of leaded glass (similar windows on the other sides). 2- storey gabled porch right of centre probably built circa 1980. It is exposed timber framing and open at right side. Front doorway contains a C20 plank door. Porch gable with shaped bargeboards of circa 1980 (similar bargeboards on right end gable). Tall and steeply pitched roof is half-hipped to left and gable-ended to right. Right end wall of exposed framing; relatively slender scantling with curving tension braces. It is probably C17.
Interior: Was not available for inspection at the time of this survey but original carpentry detail is suspected.
