Description
Hoo Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with later additions. It features a colour washed rough cast exterior on a timber frame and a clay tile roof. The building has a substantial two-bay plan and is two storeys high with attics. On the southeast elevation, there are two three-light casements on the ground floor, a three-light casement, two single-light casements, and another three-light casement on the first floor, along with two gabled dormers that have two-light casements. All the casements are from the 20th century. The central entrance is a 20th-century gabled porch with an off-centre front door. There is a substantial external gable end stack on the northeast side made of coursed limestone rubble, featuring three diagonal flues, and a similar stack with two flues on the northwest elevation. Inside, there is a four-centred arched stone chimney piece in the ground floor southwest room. Additionally, there is a single-storey colour washed brick extension on a lower level at the northeast gable end, which has been extended to the northwest.
