Boxtree, a yeoman farmhouse built around the mid 1500s, and has typical Tudor architecture of the period, being a steep roof pitch, oriel windows and arched internal doorways. Almost all of these features have remained untouched since then as it was a tenanted property until 1967, when it moved into the ownership of the current family who have been custodians since.
The building was completely restored 35 years ago and included modern footings, a stone plinth and damp-proof course, replacing the four original corner stones it stood on. The oriel windows were painstakingly rebuilt of oak and their mullion leaded lights designed and crafted by Graham Dowding. The thatch was replaced using French water reed as British reed was too weak stemmed. This requires replacing every 100 years, last replaced when the house was restored, the ridge which was replaced five years ago requires replacement every 25 years.
