Aldersey Farmhouse

Aldersey Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century. It was extended and partly rebuilt in the mid-19th century, with later additions and alterations. The building features a timber frame that is now roughcast, and the front is rebuilt in 19th-century red brick, topped with a machine tile roof. The farmhouse is designed in a two-cell baffle-entry layout with a gabled range at the rear, forming a T-plan, and includes a lower 19th-century extension to the right.

It has one storey and an attic, with 19th-century casement windows that have two and three lights, featuring segmental engineering brick heads on the ground floor. There is one window to the left and two to the right of a contemporary gabled brick porch, which has a 20th-century half-glazed door under a round-headed arch. Above the left and centre casements are late 19th-century gabled eaves dormers, and there is a central red brick ridge stack. The gables have projecting single-purlin ends, including at the rear.

Inside, the original back wall shows exposed timber framing with square panels, now with a 20th-century lean-to against it. The central stack features a partly infilled inglenook fireplace in the right ground-floor room, which also has two stop-chamfered spine beams and heavy joists with chamfer stops. A 20th-century single-storey addition in the angle to the rear on the left is not of special architectural interest.
