Old Farmhouse

Old Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with painted brick and rendered infill, and has asbestos sheeting on the gable ends and rear, topped by an asbestos slate roof. The original layout is a three-cell baffle-entry plan, which was extended to the right in the late 17th century, although the added bay has since been demolished. The building has one storey and an attic.

The framing consists of small square panels, with five panels from the cill to the wall-plate. There is a jettied full dormer to the right of the center, which has a moulded bressumer and carved corner brackets. The first floor to the right of the doorway, including the dormer, may have been rebuilt in the 17th century, as the framing has slightly larger scantling. The windows are irregular, with a fixed-light window and paired casement to the left of the roughly central entrance, and a small fixed-light window directly below the eaves above the casement. To the right of the doorway, there is a cast-iron casement and a small fixed-light window, with another cast-iron casement to the left of the dormer below the bressumer.

The entrance features a 17th-century nail-studded plank door with fleur-de-lys pointed strap hinges, sheltered by a 19th-century gabled hood. A prominent brown brick axial ridge stack is located immediately to the left, with its width indicated by rubblestone visible in the back wall.

Inside, the left ground-floor room has a chamfered spine beam and heavy joists, while the center room has a deep-chamfered spine beam. The right ground-floor room contains an oak winder staircase, with a moulded handrail and turned balusters on the first floor, likely from the early 18th century. An exposed collar and tie beam roof truss can be seen between the first and second bays from the right on the first floor. The demolished bay is said to have contained an oak-panelled parlour on the ground floor. The farmhouse is listed as Grade II* due to its exceptionally well-preserved small-panel framing.
