Guildhall Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1629, featuring a porch with a date stone inscribed with "TGD" from 1688, along with two rear wings also dating to 1688. The structure is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has stone extensions, topped with a stone slate roof. It has a lobby entry plan and stands two storeys tall with four bays. The second bay includes a two-storey gabled projecting porch, while the fourth bay projects under a gable. The farmhouse has a weathered base, stone quoins, and coped gables adorned with three ball finials. The windows feature double-chamfered mullions and label moulds, with the ground floor windows consisting of 4;6;6 lights. The porch contains a cross-casement window, where the upper lights are original with leaded glazing, while the lower lights are from the 20th century. The fourth bay has a small two-light attic window. The entrance has a segmental head and an original wide-boarded door with chamfered battens on the inside. The building includes one gable-end stack and one cross-axial stack, with an external lateral stack on the right return. The rear displays varied fenestration, featuring single-chamfered windows in the wings and a cross-casement stair window with leaded glazing. The right-hand wing has an entrance with a 20th-century porch, and the right return of the left-hand wing is timber-framed with brick infill.

Inside, the lobby has contemporary panelled partitions and doors. The kitchen features an inglenook fireplace, although the hearth has been removed. The hall contains a large fireplace and exposed beams, while the parlour has chamfered beams with ogee stops. A dog-leg staircase in the rear wing has a moulded closed string, turned balusters, and panelled newel posts, with a second staircase featuring splat balusters. An ovolo beam is present in one of the first-floor rooms. This farmhouse is noted as one of the best and most complete houses in the area.
