Palms Hill Farmhouse

Palms Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century and has had later additions and alterations. The structure is timber framed with painted brick infill and a plinth, topped with a concrete tile roof. The original layout consists of two main cells, with a significant late 20th-century addition at a right angle to the rear. The building has one storey and an attic.

The framing features square panels, with three panels extending from the cill to the wall-plate, and short straight tension braces at the front. There are also two large rectangular panels that include a jowled wall post and raking struts from the collar to the left gable end. The windows are 20th-century casements set within the framing, with two on the left and one on the right of a contemporary glazed door, which has raking eaves dormers directly above. The internal end stack on the left has been rebuilt and features a tall, narrow brick shaft.

Inside, the ground-floor rooms have been combined into one space. There is a rebuilt inglenook fireplace, along with two chamfered spine beams and heavy joists in the former left room, while the former right room retains its original joists. The late 20th-century additions are not considered to have special architectural interest.
