Hummersea Farmhouse

Hummersea Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, possibly older, with a left extension added in the mid-18th century. It underwent extensive alterations around 1800 when the left-hand part and extension were raised by four courses, and the right-hand part was lowered to connect with an adjoining farm cottage from the same period. The building is now a single house. It features dressed sandstone with clay pantile roofs, complete with stone ridge and gable copings. The stacks on the cottage have been rebuilt in brick.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five windows. There is an early 19th-century six-panel door with an overlight that has glazing bars, located between the second and third windows. The right end window has been replaced with French doors, while a late 19th-century half-glazed door is found at the left end. The left extension has an early 20th-century fixed-light window and a casement on the ground floor. Other windows are horizontal sashes with glazing bars and painted sills. A keyed lintel is present over the third ground-floor window, and there are metal restraining plates at ceiling levels between the fourth and fifth windows.

The adjoining farm cottage has two windows, a blocked doorway at the left end, and a central four-panel door, with sash windows featuring glazing bars. The ridge and end stacks are also present. Sash windows are located in the right return. The rear of the farmhouse displays a chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor. Inside, the farmhouse has beamed ceilings and panelled sliding window shutters on the first floor. The adjoining cottage and the farm outbuildings to the west and northwest are not of special interest.
