Description

Cawston Old Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an addition made in the mid to late 18th century, and later 20th-century alterations. The original 17th-century range is timber-framed with jowled posts and brick infill, some of which has been replaced in the 20th century. The 18th-century addition is built of Flemish bond brick and features a string course and dentil cornice. Both ranges have tile roofs, with brick ridge and end stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with a wing to the rear that has extended the plan to a more complex T-shape.

The 17th-century range is single-storey and attic in height, with two windows. It features late 20th-century casement windows, with three-light windows on the ground floor. A hipped dormer with two lights is positioned on the left side. The cross gable on the right side has an old, low three-light casement window. The return side features a three-light casement and a two-light dormer. The 18th-century range is two storeys high and has two windows. A moulded six-panelled door, with an overlight containing glazing bars in a wooden surround and a hood, is located in the angle between the ranges. Casement windows of two lights are above the door, and a three-light casement is to the right. The ground floor of the 18th-century range has a brick cambered arch. The catslide roof to the rear has two late 20th-century dormers.

Inside, the 17th-century range reveals exposed timber framing, some of which has been revealed. Ceiling beams are visible. There is an open fireplace, which has likely been altered. The 18th-century staircase has a straight flight with turned balusters.
