Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from approximately 1740 to 1750. It is constructed of Flemish garden wall bond brick with gabled plain tile roofs, brick-coped gable ends, and brick end stacks. The building follows a double-depth plan and has two storeys and an attic, originally with a two-window front. Later, mid-20th century windows were introduced. A dentilled eaves cornice runs along the top of the walls, and gabled dormers are visible on the roof. The left side wall features segmental arches over 12-pane sashes, and a hipped porch. The rear elevation presents a distinctive triple-gabled design, incorporating two 18th-century two-light wood-mullioned casements – one retaining original turnbuckles.

Inside, a room to the left contains a mid-18th century cupboard and fireplace surround, alongside a reused 17th-century stop-chamfered beam. A room at the rear to the left features a mid-18th century dado, reeded box shutters to a side-elevation sash window, and a mid-19th century marble fireplace. A fine open-well staircase, dating from approximately 1740, is present, characterised by a moulded handrail and turned balusters on a closed string. Chamfered first-floor beams are also visible, including a raised 17th-century stop-chamfered beam in a room to the right. The farmhouse retains mid-18th century plank and panelled doors, some with original Norfolk latches, snecks, and strap hinges. The attic contains reused 17th-century ribbed doors.
