Description
Old Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with an addition made around 1800 at the rear. It has a timber-framed structure with red brick infill in the original section and a later block made entirely of red brick. The roofs are covered with clay tiles. The building has a T-plan layout, with the original section consisting of a two-room plan. It stands two storeys high with attics.
On the west elevation, there are diamond leaded casement windows with two and three lights, including one on the ground floor and three on the first floor. The ground floor features a small 20th-century lean-to addition on the left-hand side, with a doorway aligned with a red brick multiple ridge stack. The rear block also has similar casement windows.
