Description
Village Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, likely built around an earlier structure. It is constructed of red brick, primarily in English bond, and features a clay tile roof. The house has a three-room plan and is two storeys high. There are three three-light casement windows on each floor, with the ground floor windows having cambered heads. A brick dentil cornice runs along the eaves. The doorway is off-centre, has a cambered head, and contains a 20th-century door. To the left of the main doorway, there is another blocked doorway. A red brick multiple ridge stack serves the two rooms on the right-hand side.
