Description
Albrighton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th or 17th century, which was remodeled in the late 19th or early 20th century. It features a rendered timber frame that is partly rebuilt in painted brick, topped with a plain tile roof. The building is designed in an H-plan and has two storeys plus an attic.
A large brick stack is located off-centre to the left on the ridge and has three square shafts, while a brick ridge stack on the right-hand cross wing has two square shafts. The centre of the roof has a pair of gabled dormers, each with two-light wooden casements. The front of the house has a window arrangement of three, four, and five-light wooden casements with mullions and transoms, dating from the 19th or 20th century.
The gables are jettied and supported by brackets, with planted timbers and two-light wooden casements in the attic. There are late 19th or early 20th century lean-to porches at the angles of the cross wings, featuring glazed doors. The right-hand return front shows the jettied gable of the main range. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that the central ground-floor room is said to have a deep-chamfered cross-beamed ceiling.
