Description
Preston Field Farmhouse and the adjoining cottage to the east are a Grade II listed building. The farmhouse dates from the mid-18th century, while the cottage is from the early 18th century. Both structures are built of brick and have pantile roofs, forming an L-shaped layout. The farmhouse features a double-depth main range with a symmetrical south front that has a central entrance hall and two rooms. It is two storeys high with an attic and has three bays. The entrance consists of a six-fielded-panel door with an overlight and margin lights, all beneath a channelled stucco flat arch. This is flanked by canted bay windows on the ground floor with plate-glass sashes and hipped roofs.
On the first floor, there is a central 12-pane sash window flanked by 16-pane sashes, all set in flush wooden architraves with sills and stucco flat arches. The eaves feature a three-course stepped and dentilled brick cornice, and the gables are brick-coped. The farmhouse has a pair of corniced ridge stacks with rebuilt upper sections. The left side has a window with glazing bars, including a central arched light on the ground floor, and French windows to the right, with 16-pane sashes on the first floor, all in similar surrounds to the front. There is a three-course dentilled brick band at the eaves level, and a 19th-century round-headed attic sash with glazing bars beneath a rubbed-brick arch, flanked by two blocked original openings.
The adjoining cottage is a two-storey, two-bay range with a lower single-bay kitchen section to the south. The east side of the cottage features a board door with an 8-pane window to the left and a first-floor 12-pane sliding sash with a narrow slit window to the left. The lower section has an 8-pane ground-floor window and a 6-pane first-floor window, with stepped eaves and tumbled-in brick on the raised gables, along with end stacks. The west side has a 12-pane sliding sash window in the main section.
Inside the farmhouse, there is a mid-19th-century open well staircase with a carved newel and turned balusters, as well as marble chimney pieces. The cottage has exposed ceiling joists.
