Description

Batch Farm House is a 16th-century timber-framed house featuring square panels mostly filled with old herring-bone brickwork. It has one storey plus an attic and two-storey gabled cross wings. The house includes three later wood casement windows and a further projecting wing to the right. A central brick stack with four shafts is set diagonally, with a similar stack at the rear of the left-hand wing. The entrance door is made of old nail-studded oak and has early iron strap-hinges. The rear and sides of the house maintain a similar character. While the windows vary, the house remains largely unaltered.

Inside, the interior has seen very little change, featuring contemporary doors and a fine 17th-century well staircase with massive newels topped with pendants, turned balusters, and square landings. One room on the first floor (left front) contains an oil painting of Abraham offering Isaac as a sacrifice, likely dating from around 1700. An inscription in raised plaster letters on the wall of the stairs reads "W.W.: G.M.:R.P.D:M.B.;168". This house is considered a very good example of its type.
