Description
Turnpike Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features colourwashed roughcast render that covers substantial timber framing and has clay tile roofs. The original 17th-century section is two storeys high and follows a three-room plan. An 18th-century addition projects from the west part of the rear, and there are 20th-century additions projecting from the east part of the rear, creating a U-shaped building.
On the south elevation, both floors have three sash windows with glazing bars. The first-floor windows are later additions, wider with larger panes. There is a 19th-century doorway located between the two right-hand bays, which consists of a six-panel door set within a moulded surround and is sheltered by a flat-headed open porch supported by square-timber piers. Above the doorway is a small two-light casement window. This doorway aligns with a back-to-back hearth, forming a lobby entrance. The ridge stack and the left-hand gable end stack are made of red brick with linked diagonally set shafts. The rear and side elevations display a variety of casement windows with glazing bars, mostly dating from the 20th century. The ground floor of the northwest wing has been rebuilt in brick, which is also colourwashed.
