Bush Farmhouse And Attached Barn To North East

Bush Farmhouse and the attached barn to the northeast date from the 16th to 17th century. This timber-frame complex features a barn from the 17th century, which is now used as a garage. The farmhouse consists of a single-storey east-west range with an attic and an attached chimney on the north side, along with a three-storey 'L' shaped extension to the east, where the chimney is located at the junction of the two arms of the 'L'. Most of the structure is finished in roughcast, except for the three-bay barn, which has brick nogging arranged in regular square panels. The roofs are tiled, with the barn having a pantiled roof. The east-west range has four bays, a raised gable on the northwest side, a 19th-century entrance in the center of the north side, random 19th-century casements on the north, and regular 20th-century casements on the south. The 'L' block has three bays running north-south and one running east-west, with more regular window arrangements.

Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase from around 1700 featuring decorative plank balusters, and the roof principals were likely raised in the 17th century. The 'L' section has split tongue stop-chamfered beams in the main ground floor room. The barn includes raking struts and one longitudinal purlin to the collars, with part of the south wall inside formed by the former external north wall of the 'L' block, which features a decorated jowled corner post bressummer and panels above. This complex forms a picturesque agricultural group with significant interest.
