Church House Farmhouse

Church House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century, was altered in the 19th century, and underwent extensive restoration around 1980. The building features a timber frame with painted rendered infill panels and plain tile roofs. It has two large projecting brick eaves stacks, one with three spurred brick upper shafts and a restored linking cap to the north chimney, and a plain shaft on the west chimney, along with a central brick ridge chimney.

The original plan is an H-shape, consisting of a central bay flanked by a pair of two-bay cross wings, with additional brick continuation bays added to the side of the east cross wing. The farmhouse is two stories high with an attic and cellar. The north front has a gable from the cross wing on the right, showcasing close-studded framing with a first-floor jetty and middle rails, along with restored mullion windows. There are straight braces to a slightly advanced tie beam with a plain chamfered soffit, close-set vertical struts above, and a collar with a herringbone pattern of raking struts and a central vertical strut over the collar. A projecting brick stack is located to the left of the central bay, and there is a projecting lean-to porch to the right that covers square framing.

The left cross wing gable features square framing four panels high with a single tension brace on each floor, a straight tie beam with vertical struts, upper and lower collars, and restored mullion windows on both floors. The main range to the left also has square framing four panels high with restored mullion windows. There are brick service wing extensions at the left end, which include a two-story former granary and cart shed. The west side of the cross wing has close-studded framing on both floors. The rear side is mostly covered by later brick gabled and lean-to extensions, except for the right-hand bays, which have square framing four panels high.

Inside, the farmhouse features deep chamfered bridging beams, a single trenched-purlin roof, and a diagonally-set ridge. The end bay of the cross wing retains internal partition framing on the first floor, which includes a Tudor-arched door-head with remnants of contemporary painting on the soffit.
