Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations and extensions from the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with brick dressings, and features painted timber-frame with brick infill panels on the rear. The roofs are covered with plain tiles. The main range includes a large stone projecting eaves stack with a 19th-century stepped brick shaft and a partly projecting 19th-century brick gable-end stack. The main range consists of two framed bays with a 19th-century end extension and a 19th-century cross wing.
The exterior is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar. The entrance front is located on the north-west side of the cross wing, featuring a plain boarded door set in a lean-to extension that masks the ground floor of the cross wing. There are two gabled semi-dormers situated between square framing with brick infill. To the right is the main range, and to the left is a single-storey gabled extension that projects from the lean-to.
On the cross wing gable end, there is a two-light casement window at the first floor and a three-light casement window below, both with brick segmental arches. The rear of the cross wing (south-east) has a three-window range of two-light casements, all with 20th-century concrete lintels, and the right window on each floor is blocked with brick. There is a two-light cellar casement to the right. On the left is the gable end of the main range, which features a two-light casement at the first floor, a three-light casement at the ground floor, and a single-light attic casement.
The side wall of the main range to the north-west has two bays of square framing, two panels high at the first floor, with a girding beam, studs with middle rails, braces at truss posts, and a two-light casement. The framing continues behind the stone stack to the right, where there is a two-light casement with a brick segmental lintel set in the ground-floor stone rubble wall. To the left is a one-bay 19th-century end extension with brick segmental arches over casements with moulded brick sills, along with a blank gable return and rear walls.
Inside, there are deep chamfered bridging beams and paired dragon beams in the framed bays at the ground floor.
