Description
Village Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It features a colour washed rough cast exterior over a timber frame and has an old clay tile roof. The building has a two-room plan and stands two storeys high, with the first floor jettied at the northeast gable end. There is a 20th-century additional bay on the southwest gable end and a 20th-century lean-to addition at the rear. The original block on the southeast elevation has a variety of 20th-century casements, a 20th-century door, and an open gabled porch to the right. There is a red brick stack at what was originally the southwest gable end.
