Description

Fallsbrook Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 15th century and was remodeled in the 17th century, with some alterations made in the early 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with rendered infill, partially covered in painted brick, and sits on a rubble plinth beneath a machine tile roof. The building has a T-plan layout, with a cross-wing aligned north to south and another range to the west.

A centrally placed chimney stack is located in the subsidiary range and has two rebuilt diamond-plan shafts, along with a stack on the north gable of the cross-wing. The south front of the farmhouse has a gabled cross-wing to the right and consists of two storeys. It includes three plus one windows: the two on the left are 3-light casements, followed by a 5-light casement and a 4-light casement. The two central windows feature leaded lights, while the ground floor has windows with four, three, two, and five lights. The entrance is situated in the angle of the building and has a lean-to tiled canopy with a ledged and boarded door. Although the interior was not inspected, it is reported to contain a cruck truss and 17th-century panelling.
