Description

Tithe Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century or slightly earlier, with 20th-century extensions. The building features a colour-washed rough cast exterior over a timber frame and has an old clay tile roof. It is designed in a T-plan and consists of two storeys.

The front block includes a 20th-century extension on the ground floor and has two 2-light casements with glazing bars on the first floor. A red brick ridge stack is present. On the west elevation of the rear block, there is a 20th-century porch located within the angle to the left, along with various single and 2-light casements that also have glazing bars. Additionally, there is a red brick double ridge stack that serves a back-to-back hearth.
