Description

Grove Farmhouse is a house that was later used as an inn and is now a shop. It features a mid-18th century re-fronting of an earlier structure, along with later additions and alterations. The building is made of brick, rendered at the front, with a plain tile roof and external end stacks. The original house was encased in brick during the mid-18th century when the eaves were raised at both the front and back. It has two storeys with a continuous floor band and three bays. The first floor has 20th-century casements beneath early 19th-century labels, while the ground floor features early 19th-century bow windows flanking a central entrance, which has a 20th-century door and a rendered brick porch.

Inside, there are chamfered cross beams in the two front rooms on the ground floor. The roof structure, dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, is visible in the attic and consists of butt purlins with cambered collar and tie beams arranged in five narrow bays. One of the struts from the tie beam to the collar is a reused beam that has four crudely carved quatrefoils, likely from the late 15th or early 16th century.
