Betchton Farmhouse

Betchton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 16th century, with a 17th-century addition. It features a timber frame with brick infill and a corrugated asbestos roof. The building has two storeys and an attic.

On the entrance front, the right side showcases the 17th-century section, which includes a projecting gabled wing with six by four cells of small framing and an angle brace to the left. This section has 19th-century three-light windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a three-light casement window in the gable above. The lower timbers of this part are covered with mastic.

To the left is the earlier section, originally one storey and now clad in 19th-century brick. This part features a projecting gabled service wing near the center and a lean-to on both sides. There is a doorway with a moulded surround and a two-light camber-headed window on the ground floor, mirrored by a similar window on the first floor. The earlier section has ridge chimney stacks positioned left of center and at the far left, while the 17th-century section has a 19th-century stack at the right of the gable.

The right side of the farmhouse displays nine by three cells of small framing on a projecting rendered plinth, with a 19th-century chimney stack that is flush and painted to resemble timber framing. Angle braces can be seen to the right and on the fifth upright from the right.

At the rear, the projecting 17th-century gabled wing is on the left, featuring small framing in the gable. To the right of this, the single-storey earlier section includes three doorways, two two-light casement windows, and a single-light casement window at the far right.

Inside, the older section contains a pair of cruck beams, chamfered ceiling beams, and an ingle-nook fireplace with a chamfered bressumer. The 17th-century portion has ovolo-moulded ceiling beams on the ground floor.
