Quaker'S Farmhouse

Quaker's Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century. It is built of rubble stone and has a concrete pantiled roof with two end stacks, one on each wing; the stack on the rear left gable features diamond angled shafts. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with the main entrance facing roughly south. There is a contemporary or 18th-century lean-to on the right wing and a single-storey mid-19th-century extension to the right of the junction of the two wings.

The farmhouse has one storey and an attic, featuring three windows on the main entrance front to the south, which have hoods. The left side of the ground floor has two-light 17th-century windows with chamfered frames, while the lean-to contains a three-light 19th-century casement with two-light 17th-century windows above and to the left. Above the porch, which has a concrete tiled roof and is supported at the right-hand corner by a 17th-century chamfered post, there is a three-light 19th-century casement. The porch is lit from the front by a two-light 19th-century window and has a contemporary four-panelled door leading to a 17th-century nail-studded front door.

Inside, the main front rooms feature close-set joists and chamfered beams. There is a reputed 17th-century silk cupboard with contemporary balusters and panelling in the principal rear room of the left wing. The first storey of each wing is divided longitudinally, partly by plank and muntin partitions, and there is a straight 19th-century staircase at the junction of the two wings. The roof trusses include similar contemporary trusses with raking struts from collars and plain collar A-frames with ties.
