Description
Church Farmhouse is a house that has now been divided into two properties. It dates back to the 16th century, with alterations made from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The building has a substantial timber-framed structure, with the front faced in brick and most of it covered in colourwashed render. It features clay tile roofs and is designed in an H-plan, with two-storey cross-wings and a central block that is one storey with attics, which was likely originally an open hall. The left-hand block, known as No. 28, is a later addition and is also two storeys high.
The house has a variety of casement windows with glazing bars, some of which have wooden mullions and transoms, and these come in configurations of two, three, and four lights. There is a panelled door located in the cross-passage, which is sheltered by a gabled open porch. The gables have wavy-edged bargeboards. A plaque at the apex of the right-hand gable is dated 1775, likely marking one of the periods of reworking. Substantial brick chimney stacks project from the side elevations of the cross-wings, while the central block has a chimney stack on the rear elevation, with a base made of coursed ironstone and a shaft that was rebuilt in 19th-century brick.
