Steep Acre.GIF (12897 bytes)Steep Acre, Windlesham Road is a superb example of an early two-storey four-bay house with a narrow central smoke-bay (where the new chimney rises); all dating originally from the sixteenth century. The timber framing on the upper storey on the road side of the house is pleasantly irregular and it is worth noticing the medieval hipped roof, gablet and arch braces which add to the charm. The house is well constructed and its square panelled symmetry is impressive. The Windlesham Road has many fine old farmhouses.
