Description
Porch Farm is a 16th-century farmhouse. It is timber-framed and plaster-rendered, with a brick base to the lower floor. The roof is tiled. The building has two storeys and four windows. The lower windows are 19th-century sash windows; the upper windows are sliding sash windows, with one old lattice casement on the left side. A good porch, dating from about 1600, has a timber structure on a brick base, featuring a carved basebeam and bargeboards to the gable, with turned balusters on either side. An old chimney stack is attached to a rear wing, with a later addition to the top. Another chimney stack is on the front roof.
