Description
Turnditch Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated "G.G.M.G. 1701" with later alterations. It is constructed of ashlar stone featuring herringbone tooling and has a plain tile roof with coped verges on shaped kneelers, along with coursed and squared stone ridge stacks. The building has a lobby-entry plan and is L-shaped, with the main range aligned east-west facing south and a rear wing aligned north-south. It stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic and consists of three bays. The 20th-century casement windows have replaced earlier chamfered mullioned windows; the first-floor windows originally had two lights, while the ground-floor windows feature concrete lintels. There is a small oval-shaped light in the centre of the first floor, and a central door with a dated lintel. Both gables of the main range have casement windows, all with straight hood moulds, and there is a lozenge-shaped panel on the east gable.
