Description

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th or 18th century, with extensions added in the 19th century. The earlier section is constructed of limestone rubble, while the later part features chequered red brick. The building has an old clay tile roof, which is hipped on the later section. It stands two storeys high with attics and includes several 2- and 3-light casement windows with glazing bars, set beneath red rubbed brick arches in the later part.
