Townhouse Farmhouse

Townhouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a mid-18th century addition. It features a timber frame with rendered infill and red Flemish bond brick, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has a T-shaped plan and consists of two and three storeys. The main front, which forms the cross-stroke of the T, was added later to an earlier two-cell house from the early 17th century, which underwent alterations in the early 18th century.

The road-facing side has five bays and three storeys, arranged symmetrically. The central entrance features a classical door surround with fluted pilasters, dosserets, and an open pediment that contains a fanlight above a door with six raised and fielded panels. On either side of the entrance are window surrounds with stone sills and flat arched heads made of gauged brick, fitted with 20th-century windows of four by five panes. The first and second floors have five similar windows, although the third and fifth windows on both floors have been blocked. A sun firemark is located to the right of the central window.

There are gable stacks on either side, each with four flues. The right side has a ground floor door on the left with a flat-arched head, along with windows on the first and second floors above. The early 17th-century wing on the left has small framing with angle braces on either side and on the fourth and seventh uprights from the left, featuring twelve by three cells. There are two 19th-century three-light casement windows on the ground and first floors, along with two 19th-century windows that have chamfered mullions and narrow lights; the ground floor window has six lights, while the first floor window has three blocked lights. A central ridge chimney stack is present, and to the left is a further 18th-century brick extension, with the rear of this wing refaced in 18th or 19th-century brick.
