TL8563NE HONEY HILL 639-1/11/446 (South side) 02/09/85 No.10 and attached outbuildings

House. Early C18, with early C19 front. Brick front, stucco rendered and lined, with slate roof. The western half of the house, originally a long range set gable-on to the street, with a brick-vaulted cellar below, has been re-roofed in line with the rest of the front, though with a higher ridge. The east gable of the re-roofed section, in a mixture of flint, brick and stone, is dated 1806. 2 end chimney-stacks that on the east set externally, both with plain red brick shafts. Bracketed eaves cornice. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; part attic; cellar. 2 windows to each storey: small-paned sashes in deep reveals, longer on the ground floor than those above; on the left wider also. Segmental keystones. Slightly recessed 6-panelled door with the top 2 panels glazed; solid projecting surround with flat pilasters, plain frieze and cornice, and a slightly arched head to opening; a slipped keystone bears the head of a smiling bearded man. The rear range is in a mixture of flint and re-used Abbey stone. Stone arches to 2 rear windows, each with a keystone bearing a rampant lion holding a garland. The eastern half of the house is butted up against the older range with a straight joint in the walling; it blocks one upper window and partly covers the dated gable. Adjoining the west end of the house is an outbuilding of the same height: front of re-used stone and random brick, colourwashed; rebuilt wall in red brick; gable-end rendered; clay-pantiled gambrel roof; 2 high double doors. INTERIOR: a C18 duck’s nest grate in one rear upper room; in the front upper rooms a pair of matching cast-iron grates of c1830.
