Description
Top House Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1700. It features irregular Flemish bond brown brickwork and has a steep grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three windows. There is a band of two raised courses of brick that separates the first floor, and it has parapet end gables with flush gable chimneys; the left chimney has been rebuilt in red brick above the first floor. The entrance is through a boarded oak door located in a 19th-century gabled open porch. The front of the house has mid-19th century iron casements, while the back includes two leaded casements.
Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace in the front left room, with signs of a former inglenook in the kitchen behind it. The front and back right rooms each have corner fireplaces. Each front room features a chamfered oak beam and oak joists, and the ceiling in the right room also has a diagonal beam that runs parallel to the corner chimney. Upstairs, there is an oak-framed spine wall. The downstairs has two doors made of broad overlapping oak boards, while there is one plain broad-board oak door upstairs. The staircase is made of oak and includes newels, a shaped square rail, and two turned balusters per step.
