Oaks Farmhouse

Oaks Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse, with an earlier range at the rear and 19th and 20th-century additions. The main block at the front, facing south, consists of an 18th-century range to the east, which extends to the north as a rear wing and has a short wing on its right side. A further range was built in the 19th century on the west side, creating a symmetrical twin-gabled south front. This west range may be a 19th-century rebuilding of an earlier structure. An older service range is attached to the rear right (north-east) of the rear wing, with outshuts at the back. A large 20th-century outshut occupies the rear angle where the older back range meets the rear wing.

The south front is symmetrical with three bays, featuring two large brick gables and a narrow recessed bay centrally. Brick platbands and terracotta coping run along the front. Windows have flat brick arches and stone sills; a 16-pane sash window is on the right ground floor, a modern casement replaces the original on the left ground floor, and 19th-century 2-light casements with glazing bars occupy the first floor, with a small 12-pane sash in the central recess. A central doorway with overlight has a modern glazed door and porch. The platband continues on the right return and around the projecting east wing, which has two first-floor windows with flat arches featuring keystones and a late 19th-century bay window on the ground floor.

The rear range has a fielded-panel door inside a modern glazed porch, three circa 18th or early 19th-century 3- and 4-light casements with glazing bars, timber-flaming in the east gable end, and sandstone and brick outshuts at the rear.

Inside, the front right room features a cupboard with an arched fielded-panel door, pilasters, and a dentilled cornice. The small parlour in the east wing has panelled shutters in the bay window. A winder staircase sits behind the kitchen stack. The kitchen in the rear wing has a ceiled interior, a segmental arch fireplace with a moulded mantel shelf, and a cupboard with panelled doors to the side. The earlier rear range has stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and chamfered joists.
