Description
The Old Farm House is a farmhouse built in 1644, with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone and features ashlar quoins, a pantile roof, and a catslide roof at the rear. The building has a short stone ridge stack with a moulded top and a gable end facing the road. The garden front is two storeys high with a garret and consists of four irregular bays. There is an off-centre panelled door with a timber lintel, flanked by sloping buttresses. The front has three 3-light stone mullion windows that were replaced in the 20th century. Above these, there are two more 3-light stone mullion windows and a single light window. The gable end features a plinth and a 4-light stone mullion window on the ground floor, while the first floor and garret have 17th-century 2-light cavetto mullion windows with cornices. Inside, the farmhouse has a Stamford marble flagged floor and an oak girder in the hall, which has a chamfered and cyma stopped design running the full length of the room, supported by two modern props. Below the first-floor gable window, there is a datestone inscribed with the year "1644" in raised numerals, accompanied by a carved chalice in relief.
