Scowcroft Farmhouse

Scowcroft Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th or 17th century. It is a timber-framed house that has undergone various alterations and rebuilds in later centuries. The original timber-framed walls have been either rendered or rebuilt in brick. The roof is made of graduated stone slate and 20th-century tiles. The building has an H-shaped, two-storey layout with a rear wing. Gabled crosswings project to the left and right, with the left wing partly rebuilt in 20th-century brick. There is a central gabled porch, and each floor features three or four 20th-century casement windows. A brick ridge chimney stack is present, and similar windows are found at the rear.

Inside, much of the roof structure, a significant portion of the floor structure, and some original timber framing remain intact. The floor beams may have been added to an open hall in the late 16th century. The tie-beam trusses have inclined struts and show evidence of the timber-framed structure through mortice holes. The extent of the framework buried in the walls is unknown, although the principals are clearly visible. There is an early 18th-century dogleg staircase with a deep rail and turned balusters, along with panelled doors.
