Description
Decoy Farmhouse is a late 18th-century brick house that has been roughcast rendered. It features a thatched roof with coped gable ends and stands two storeys tall. The house has a three-window range, with modern casements, except for the first-floor center window, which is a 19th-century two-light gothic casement. There are two modern canted bay windows on the ground floor. The central doorway has a rectangular fanlight with intersecting glazing bars, a glazed door, and an iron trellis porch. The house has end stacks and a gabled wing at the rear, which has a thatched roof, creating an L-shaped plan. The Victoria County History of Northamptonshire, Volume II, notes that Decoy Farm was owned for many years by a family named Williams and mentions an old wild fowl decoy located about 350 yards to the southeast.
