Description

Nook Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house, with later alterations and additions. The building features coursed large stone blocks and a diaper patterned clay tile roof, with stone ridge stacks and a brick integral end stack. The original 17th-century house is aligned northwest to southeast and faces northeast, comprising a two-room baffle entry plan. Extensions to the northwest on the same alignment obscure the northern half of the front of the house. The original house is set back to the left and is partly hidden by the extensions on the right.

The original section is one storey high with a gable-lit attic, featuring a half-glazed door to the right and a high-up four-pane casement window to the left. The extensions consist of three parts with 20th-century casements, including a two-storey single bay building on the left, a lower three-bay range of two storeys to the left and one storey to the right and centre, which has a glazed door to the right and a catsliding roof over a central projecting door. There is also a three-bay former cowhouse with large garage doors to the right.

Inside, the southeast room contains a 17th-century fireplace with a cambered head, niches, and a bake oven at the rear. There is a fire-window and a chamfered mullioned window on the southwest wall of this room, as well as a Victorian staircase with turned balusters in the northwest room.
