Description
A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in February 2020, in order to informa a planning application for demolition.<1>
The building is a small (c.15m x 8m in size), one-and-a-half-storey, timber-framed/brick-built structure located on the east side of Seven Star Green, a historic parcel of common south of Halstead Road in Eight Ash Green. Despite a large number of modern additions, extensions and alterations, enough historical fabric (including a large fireplace and a first-floor supported by a substantial binding-beam) remains to suggest the building was initially constructed sometime between the 15th and 17th centuries, possibly as a small hall-house.
