Full Description
Former farmhouse mainly in brick but with internal stone walls, possibly relating to King John's Palace.
Bremmer Farmhouse is a two-storey building, with painted brick exterior. Three different phases of build visible in brickwork. Panel door. Three ground floor windows with rubbed brick arches. Cross gabled pantile roof. Original building was constructed before 1766, and two properties became separate dwellings in 1895.
Arundel Cottage is a two-storey brick building, with rendered ground floor and timber panelling on first floor (facing away from road) front elevation. Three different phases of build visible in brickwork. Pantile roof. Became a separate property from Brammer Farmhouse in 1895 and extended to the south between 1964 and 1978.
The two properties were found to contain five discreet phases of construction. The earliest features on the site were three potentially Mediaeval coursed rubble and ashlar stone walls surviving to first floor height. One of these stone walls related to the northern boundary enclosure of the King’s Houses Royal Palace which lay to the south of the site between the late C12 to C15. The other two walls may relate to contemporary structures built against this boundary. A single brick post-Mediaeval cottage was constructed prior to 1766 against the north elevation of the earlier boundary wall…By the early C19 this cottage had been extended to the east. The cottage to the east was known as Brammer Farmhouse by the 1880s and also functioned as a village shop from the early C19. Less is known about the cottage…known as Arundel Cottage. In 1895 the Welbeck Estate extended Brammer Farmhouse to the west and south…and the site was divided into two properties. The site passed into private ownership in 1945. Arundel Cottage was then extended to the south during the early 1970s. The site retains much of its vernacular appearance and contains important survivals of in situ Mediaeval masonry relating to the King’s Houses royal palace. (1)
