Oak Farmhouse

Oak Farmhouse is a farmhouse located on Jill Lane in Sambourne, dating from around 1550, 1600, and the late 17th century. The building features a combination of partly timber-framed construction with brick infill; the central section is roughcast, while the right wing is made of 19th-century brick, complete with a string course and a brick dentil cornice. The roof is covered with old tiles and has brick ridges and end stacks.

The farmhouse has a T-plan layout, consisting of two storeys and an attic, with a four-window range. The cross wing on the left displays exposed timber framing with jowled posts and has a window only on the first floor. The entrance features a 20th-century panelled door and an open porch. The ground floor windows are 19th-century casements with glazing bars, wood mullions, and transoms, while the left return side of the right wing has windows with cambered arches and an external stack. The building also includes two roof dormers, and the left return side and rear are roughcast with additional 19th and 20th-century casements and canted bay windows. The right wing has a small amount of close studding.

Inside, some timber framing is exposed, and there are broad stop-chamfered ceiling beams. The interior features two open fireplaces back-to-back, one of which has a stop-chamfered bressumer. The staircase includes two 17th-century square moulded newel posts, and the roof is supported by curved wind braces. There are also 19th-century single-storey additions to the farmhouse.
