Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse and attached cottage that has been converted into a single dwelling. The house is dated 1678, as indicated by an inset stone in the right gable apex, while the cottage is from the 17th century and was incorporated as a wing in the late 20th century.
The materials used for the house include brown brick in English garden wall bond, with flush stone quoins set on a high stone plinth. It features a slate roof with gable coping and a kneeler to the right, a stone ridge, and a central brick stack. The cottage wing has whitewashed rendered and textured walls, with a slate roof that also has a stone ridge and brick stack.
The exterior of the house has a two-storey, two-window front, while the cottage wing has a two-storey, one-window front. The house features a six-panel door with glazed upper panels, and the windows on both floors are wide 10/10 sashes with exposed sash boxes. There is a five-course raised brick dentilled band at the first floor. The cottage wing has squat 4/8 sash windows and a dentilled eaves course. The left gable wall includes a door within an added porch and a round-headed radial glazed window in the gable apex.
Inside, both sections of the dwelling showcase exposed beams and ceiling joists.
