Town End Farmhouse

Town End Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1700 that has been altered over time. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond on the front wall, with random bond used elsewhere, and features a pantile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with a three-bay gabled front that conceals a twin roof. There is a window in the position of the central doorway, which is beneath a rubbed-brick flat arch. Above the door, a chamfered ashlar datestone is present, but only the upper initial 'S' is now legible. The outer windows and those on the first floor have 20th-century casements with glazing bars, all set beneath rubbed-brick segmental arches. A blind attic window is located in the center of the large flat-topped gable, which has shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings. There are brick stacks on the inside of each ridge.

On the right side of the building, there is a 20th-century door positioned to the right of center, which is beneath a flat-topped segmental arch made of rougher brickwork. Flanking this door are 20th-century casements that also have similar arches, with a large 20th-century casement above on the right. The eaves feature tabled and dentilled courses. The interior has been altered.

Historically, Rev. de la Pryme noted in his diary in 1698 that Stainforth had changed significantly, mentioning that there was only one good house, which was recently built. This house is believed to be Town End Farmhouse, which was owned by Francis Elwick and cost £1,300 to build. In the 18th century, it passed by marriage to the Simpson family.
