The Farmhouse

The Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse, likely incorporating an earlier core, with a mid-19th-century range and an early 20th-century addition. It is now divided into two dwellings. The building is constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs and presents a T-shaped plan. The early 18th-century gable cross wing is to the left, and a central 19th-century range extends to the right with a 20th-century addition beyond. The cross wing has two storeys and an attic. Architectural details include a toothed brick eaves cornice, a plinth, two plat bands, an integral brick lateral stack to the left, an external rendered brick end stack to the right, and a central brick ridge stack.

The 19th-century range has three first-floor 2-light wooden casements, a ground-floor early 20th-century two-light segmental-headed wooden casement to the right, and a large central late 20th-century three-light casement. A segmental-headed 6-panelled door with a 20th-century gabled porch sits to the left, with a similar 6-panelled door (top two panels glazed) off-centre to the right, accessed by an early 20th-century bracketed porch beneath a later flat-roofed porch. The left-hand cross wing has a large late 20th-century ground-floor window, an early 18th-century glazing bar sash with an exposed box and segmental-head on the first floor, and a 2-light wooden attic casement. A lean-to addition is situated at the rear.

The interior of the 18th-century cross wing features corner fireplaces, early 18th-century raised and fielded panelled doors with L-hinges, and an early 19th-century staircase with an open string, cut brackets, two stick balusters per tread, and a wreathed handrail. Panelling, reportedly removed from Woolstaston Hall around 1784, was not observed during a survey in September 1985. The building is included for group value.
