Description
Maesbrook Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century but was largely rebuilt in the mid-18th century, with later additions and alterations. The building features painted brick that has largely replaced the original timber frame, and it has a graded slate roof with crow-stepping on the right gable end. The farmhouse has a basic L-plan layout, with a two-storey outshut added to the left of the rear range in the late 18th century and a 19th-century lean-to attached.
The structure has two storeys and an attic. On the front, there are 19th-century casement windows on either side of a prominent 19th-century gabled porch, which has a plain door and a toothed cornice that extends around the gable. The ground floor windows have segmental heads, while the first-floor windows are positioned directly below the eaves. There is a flat-roofed dormer located in the middle of the roof slope on the left side. An external end stack on the left side partly conceals a tie beam with carved decoration, and the lean-to at the bottom likely contains a bread oven. There are also integral end stacks on the right side and at the rear range.
Inside, the ground-floor front rooms feature deep-chamfered spine beams. The first floor of the main range has a timber-framed spine wall with square panels. A ladder staircase leads from the first floor to the attic, which has a double-purlin roof divided into two bays, with a central collar and tie beam truss and straight windbraces. A 20th-century red brick addition at the rear of the rear range is not of special architectural interest.
