FRESSINGFIELD LAXFIELD ROAD TM 27 NE 6/31 Chippenhall Hall - 29.7.55 -- II
Manor farmhouse. C16 and C17, in 3 or 4 phases. Timber framed and plastered, with colourwashed brick to the ground floor of the facade. Pantiled roof with glazed black tiles at the front. 2 storeys and attic. A central hall range with flanking cross-wings; to the rear of the left cross-wing is a former dairy range. 4 windows, C19 and mid C20 3-light casements: the later windows are on the first floor and have square-leaded panes. C19 hood moulds. C19 doorway with inset 4-panel door, rectangular fanlight, pilasters, frieze and cornice. Axial stacks to each cross-wing and an external stack to the rear of the hall range. The left or parlour cross-wing is C16 and has good exposed timbering with some closely-spaced studding;-part of the forwardmost bay has been lost; the stack in the rear bay is a later insertion. The early C17 former dairy range was originally detached: it now has 2 bays but originally extended further to the rear; evidence for large diamond-mullioned first floor windows, now infilled with later studding; queen post roof. The remainder of the house is early-mid C17, in 2 phases, with much of the structure exposed. Good early-mid C17 dog-leg stair with turned balusters and square newel posts with ball finials. The hall has a re-used heavy bridging beam and 2 ovolo- moulded doorways, one of which probably once gave access to a stair. The stack in the right wing is partly composed of unfired brick (cf. Holly Tree Farmhouse, Cratfield).
