NHER 11581 (Building record) - Witton Green Farm (The Longhouse)

Unusual brick house, a late variant of the lobby-entrance plan with living room and separately heated withdrawing room to one side of the stack and kitchen and dairy to the other; but throughout the beams are ornamentally moulded. Two occurrences of the date 1680 on fireplaces may well date the house although some of the decoration might seem a little earlier. Cellar, perhaps with an icehouse though probably not. Georgian remodelling to a very small degree. Unfortunate mid 20th century external 'restoration.'
To the west are two barns, one dated 1774, now converted to housing and delisted.
Road said to have been excavated in garden.
Report (S1), architectural plans (S2) and press cutting (S3) in file. Listed (S4).
