Description

Tan House Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, altered in the mid-19th century. It is timber-frame construction with roughcast rendering and some rubble walling, featuring a stone-tiled roof laid in diminishing courses and a large square rubble ridge stack. The original layout likely comprised four framed bays, aligned roughly north/south, including a through-passage bay and a chimney backing onto that passage. An external rubble chimney is located at the north end. The east front has 19th-century casement windows: a three-light window, a four-light window, and a square window on the ground floor, and three three-light windows on the first floor. The main entrance has a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets and a ledged and battened door. A single-storey rubble service wing is attached to the south gable end, with a rubble lean-to outshut at the rear. Internally, the principal room contains a good ceiling divided into panels by original moulded beams.
