Church Farm And Garden Wall

Church Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century or very early 18th century and was remodeled in the mid-19th century, with recent renovations. The exterior features white-painted render on cobble and a graduated slate roof. The building has a single-depth linear three-unit plan, with a fourth unit added in the 20th century and a 19th-century rear wing. Originally, it had a three-unit baffle-entry plan with an open house part in the center and lofted end bays. The design reflects Jacobean style, typical of buildings in the Clifton estate area during the 19th century.

The farmhouse is one-and-a-half storeys high and now has a four-window range. There is a low single-storey gabled porch located between the first and second bays, aligned with the ridge chimney. The porch features a board door, a rectangular lintel with a label, a roof with projecting verges, and small windows on the side walls. The four ground floor windows and four dormer windows above are all three-light horizontal sliding sashes with small panes and labels over, with the dormers also having projecting verges. The building has a square four-flue chimney on the ridge in line with the porch, a lateral two-flue chimney at the junction with the added fourth bay, and a tall single-flue chimney at the left gable. There is a single-storey 19th-century service wing at the rear.

Inside, the original plan has been altered by the addition of a ceiling and the removal of the inglenook, leaving only the heck. There are two axial beams in the third bay, both of which are chamfered, with one featuring a 17th-century stop. The roof truss between the second and third bays has a severed tie-beam. In the third bay, close to this truss, there are remains of a staircase partition wall made of hand-made brick at ground floor level and clamstaff-and-daub above, indicating an altered staircase. The front garden is enclosed by a garden wall made of cobble.
