Description
The Creakers Farmhouse is a farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th century, though it has undergone significant alterations since then. The exterior features colour washed rough cast over a timber frame, with some areas covered in colour washed brick. The roof is made of clay tiles and has an L-shaped plan, with an additional wing that runs parallel to the southeast wing. The building stands two storeys tall, and the roof is hipped at the eastern corner. Throughout the farmhouse, there are 20th-century casements and doors. The southeast door is adorned with a cut bracketed hood, and there is one gabled dormer on the northeast elevation. Various red brick ridge stacks are present on the roof.
