Maxstoke School Farmhouse

Maxstoke School Farmhouse is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with plain-tiled roofs and features an internal stack on the south pitch of the roof. The main range has a cross-wing at the west end, and the east cross-wing was added in the mid-19th century. The building is one storey with an attic and has three gables on the front, including the two cross-wings. The windows are later 19th-century wood casements set under segmental arches. There is a doorway in a similar arch leading to a cross-passage away from the hearth. In the late 19th century, a service range was added parallel to and adjoining the west cross-wing, which is two storeys high on the front and has a segmental arch to the passage and a boarded door. The interior shows no features older than the early 19th century at the ground floor, including an inglenook hearth with early 19th-century cupboards, a staircase beside the stack, exposed ceilings, boxed beams, and machine-cut joists laid on edge. The service range was used for a wash-house and dairy.
