Nickerwood Farmhouse

Nickerwood Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely has a core dating from the 16th century, with an outshut added in the early 18th century. The building has been altered over time and features a cement-rendered exterior, with stone and brick on the right return wall, and a pantile roof. It is two storeys high with three bays and has a continuous outshut at the rear, along with a later lean-to on the right return, which is not of special interest. There are doors to the left of the first two bays, and all windows are 20th-century three-light casements with projecting stone sills. The left end has a brick stack, while there is a ridge stack located between the second and third bays.

Inside, the ground-floor room on the left contains twin spine beams with tongue-shaped chamfer stops, and the rear beam has soffit mortices. There is a bressumer with a doorhead to the wall that divides the first two bays. On the first floor, visible from the loft over the outshut to the rear left, is the timber-framed side wall of bay one, which has wall posts with quadrant braces, a mid rail, and stud infill. Bay three features exposed purlins with straight wind braces, and principal-rafter trusses are visible in the loft. It is likely that extensive parts of a timber-framed house of three bays are encased within the current structure.
