Description
Oak Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600. It has a substantial timber frame with a colour washed roughcast render on the exterior and a clay tile roof. The house features a 3-room plan and consists of one storey with attics, and it appears to have aisles at both the front and rear. The windows vary, with most being 19th-century sashes on the ground floor. The east elevation has three gabled dormers that contain 20th-century casements. There is one red brick double ridge stack that serves back-to-back hearths, and a 19th-century yellow brick integral stack on the north gable end. The entrances are enclosed within 20th-century single storey additions on the west and south sides.
