Description
Finsbury Park Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse featuring a colour washed rough cast exterior over a timber frame and a thatched roof. The building has a three-room plan and consists of one storey with attics. On the south elevation, there are two 2-light horizontal sash windows with glazing bars, along with one 20th-century casement window on the ground floor. The façade also includes three dormers, each with 2-light horizontal sashes and glazing bars. A four-panel door is set beneath an open gabled porch, aligned with a colour washed rough cast double ridge stack. There is a similar single stack on the west gable end. At the rear, there is a one-storey lean-to addition made of colour washed brick, weatherboarding, and a corrugated iron roof.
