Description
The property is a farmhouse, dating to the late 17th century, with alterations and additions from the early 18th century, the mid-to-late 19th century. It is timber framed with red brick nogging set on a squared and coursed red sandstone plinth; parts have been refaced and extended in red brick. The roof is tiled. The original structure consisted of two framed bays, to which an L-shaped house was added to the northeast in the 18th century, along with other additions. The farmhouse has one storey and attic, two storeys, and two storeys and an attic.
Architecturally, the farmhouse features a dentil brick eaves cornice (bricks laid on edge), parapeted gable ends, two large panelled external brick end stacks to the 18th-century block, and an external brick end stack to the mid-to-late 19th-century addition. Dormers with parapeted gables and 2-light segmental-headed wooden casements are present on the 18th-century block. The framing consists of square panels, four from sole-plate to wall-plate. The front of the 18th-century block has two windows, with segmental-headed late 19th-century wooden cross-casements on the first floor. A mid-19th-century four-panelled door with glazed top panels is positioned to the right, alongside a brick porch with a parapeted gable and round archway. The property was originally three bays, but the central window and door have been blocked.
The 17th-century portion, set back to the right, has a brick eaves dormer with a parapeted gable, and a segmental-headed 2-light wooden casement. The left-hand gable end displays an exposed collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and V-struts. The mid-to-late 19th-century block to the right has a wooden cross casement on the first floor and a canted bay window on the ground floor. A gabled stair wing is located at the rear of the 18th-century part, and a gabled mid-to-late 19th-century wing is at the rear of the 17th-century portion.
Inside, the early 18th-century dog-leg staircase has winders, a closed string, turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newel posts. A corner buffet in the kitchen showcases flanking pilasters and shaped shelves, with two-panelled cupboards beside the fireplace. The interior also features window shutters, and 17th- and 18th-century boarded and plank-and-muntin doors with strap hinges.
