Bourney'S Farmhouse

Bourney's Farmhouse is a house built in 1696. It has a timber frame, roughcast and cement render, and a steeply pitched roof that is now covered with asbestos but was originally thatched. The house features original end stacks made of local red brick, mostly cement rendered except for a string course. It has a typical late 17th century T-plan, with the original kitchen located in the rear wing. The front range consists of two rooms on either side of a narrower hall and stair bay. The house has two storeys and three first-floor windows, including a smaller closet window, all from the 19th or 20th century, situated above a central doorway that is flanked by a 19th-century canted bay and a four-pane 19th-century hung sash window. Inside, one of the ground floor rooms, likely the parlour, features a plaster roundel with the date 1696 surrounded by a floral border. The rear range of the house is cellared, and several doors are made from re-used 18th-century raised and fielded panelling.
