Description
Church Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It features colour washed pebble dashed brickwork and ironstone, with stucco dressings, and has a slate roof. The house has one red brick stack from the 19th century with three diagonally set brick tunnels, as well as a left-hand gable stack with one tunnel. The building has an E-plan layout and is one and a half storeys tall, with through eaves dormers. The front has seven bays, with two projecting gabled wings at each end. Each wing has a glazing bar sash window with a splayed flat lintel on the ground floor and a smaller glazing bar sash with a hood mould on the first floor. The gables feature bargeboards and long wooden pinnacles.
A central projecting gabled closed porch is located on the facade, which has a round-headed door opening and a vertical slot above it. This porch is flanked by single glazing bar sash windows with hood moulds, and there is a narrow glazing bar sash to the right that lights the base of the stairs, also with a hood mould. Above the porch, there are two through eaves glazing bar sash dormers. The eaves overhang, along with the 19th-century exposed rafter ends, adds to the character of the house. The right-hand gable includes a glazing bar sash with a hood mould and a band at the first floor level. The left-hand gable is partly colour washed stone, which may indicate it is part of an earlier building.
A rendered wall with railings above runs between the two projecting wings. The central octagonal gateposts have pyramidal caps, and the flanking low screen is made of 19th-century cast iron railings, with castellated end walls. Inside, there is one exposed oak beam from the 16th century, an 18th-century corner cupboard in the hall/living room, and the dog leg stairs feature curved splat balusters that could date back to the 16th century.
