Description
Olde Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of reddish-brown brick, which probably covers a timber frame, and features plain tile roofs. The building has a T-plan layout, with a hall range on the left and a cross-wing that projects to the right. It is two storeys high, with an attic in the cross-wing. The hall range has a dentilled eaves cornice, while the cross-wing displays dentilled floor bands.
On both floors of the hall range, there is a late 19th-century casement window with a segmental head on either side of a roughly central door, which has a console bracketed hood. The cross-wing has similar windows: one on the ground floor, two on the first floor, and a blind painted window in imitation on the attic. There is a prominent stack with moulded capping located behind the ridge to the right of the hall range, as well as an end stack to the left and a slender 20th-century stack on the right side of the cross-wing. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to in the angle between the hall and the cross-wing. The interior could not be inspected during the last survey in 1985, but it is likely to be of interest.
