Description

Church Farmhouse is a late 17th century farmhouse featuring a three-bay layout and a lobby entry plan, with 19th century brick additions to the north. The building is timber framed and rendered, with a roof that was likely raised in the 19th century. It has a steeply pitched, plain tiled roof with a ridge stack and a later end stack on the south gable end. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a garret, and there are four modern windows on the first floor. The entry is located opposite the stack. The south gable end has one small iron casement window and a fire insurance plaque. The 19th century brick addition includes a brewhouse and is one storey with an attic, featuring a tiled roof and two dormers.
