Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, with 19th and 20th-century additions. It is constructed of stone rubble, with timber framing to the first floor, and has plain-tiled roofs. A projecting stone stepped eaves stack is situated on the north side, and an integral brick eaves chimney is on the west. The building has a T-shaped plan, comprising a main range and a cross wing, with additional extension wings.

The north-facing entrance front features a stone stack to the left and a 20th-century entrance door, with a casement window above, to the right of the main range. A projecting gable-end of the cross wing is on the right, with a 20th-century three-light casement window below a tie beam. This gable-end is partially concealed by a projecting 20th-century single-storey extension wing. Within the gable-end, the remains of a timber-framed gable-end truss are visible, including a jowled post, cambered tie beam, vertical struts, a high collar, a window rail, and diagonal struts set within a former window opening. The return side of the cross wing shows timber framing with brick infill above dry stone rubble at ground floor, with square panels, a girding beam, studs with middle rails, and two inserted casement windows at first floor. A 20th-century three-light casement window is at ground floor. The rear south gable end has 20th-century casement windows on each storey, each with a thin stone hoodmould. A jowled post is the only remaining vestige of a gable truss. Four rows of pigeon holes with thin stone ledges are in the gable apex. The rear of the main range has rubble walls with 20th-century windows and doors. The east gable-end of the main range is timber-framed with a gable-end truss featuring a straight tie beam, single brace, four studs below, twin vertical struts framing a 20th-century casement, a collar, and three vertical struts above.

The interior of the cross wing has an internal square-framed cross-frame with a deeply chamfered girding beam. Ground-floor bays have deeply chamfered bridging beams and cross bridging beams, with plain square stops to the north bays and ogee stops to the south bays. The main range has a plain chamfered mantlebeam with curved turn-down stops and plain boarded doors with creased boarded doors to the ground floor. The cross wing’s internal truss features braced jowled posts, additional internal tension braces, a cambered tie beam, a collar, and two vertical struts. The main range's internal truss has a straight tie beam interrupted by a doorway, a collar, and a double trenched purlin roof. The main range of Church Farmhouse connects to a 19th-century outbuilding wing, now converted to domestic use.
