Description

Grove Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid-17th century and was remodeled and extended in the late 19th century. It features a pebbledashed timber frame with red brick nogging and a plain tile roof. The building consists of two parallel ranges, one long and one short, each with gables facing the front. It has two storeys and a gable-lit attic, with a pebbledashed external lateral stack on the right, which has tiled offsets and pitched-roofed links to the attic.

There are three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all of which are 19th-century wooden mullioned and transomed casements with weatherings; the central first-floor window slightly projects. The central entrance has a six-panelled door, where the lower two panels are flush and the upper four are glazed, accompanied by a rectangular overlight, a moulded architrave, and a returned wooden hoodmould. A 19th-century lean-to timber porch is also present. To the left, there is a 19th-century addition that is pebbledashed and has a slate roof, featuring a brick ridge stack. At the rear, there are two-light wooden attic casements.

Inside, the ground-floor front rooms were remodeled in the early 18th century, showcasing cased paired beams and moulded cornices. A 17th-century dog-leg winder stair leads to the attic. The front gables contain tie-beam trusses with two collars and queen struts, along with walk-through intermediate trusses. Large pairs of purlins with wind braces are also present. A blocked attic window in the left-hand gable now has herringbone brick infill.
