Description
Baron's Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1560, attributed to George Wells. The building has undergone significant external alterations and additions in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with a low-pitched slate roof added in the late 19th century. The side stack is made of reused red brick and likely occupies the site of the original stack. The house is two storeys tall and has mid to late 20th-century windows and a doorway. In the late 19th century, lean-tos were added to the side walls, and the slate roof was extended over them.
Inside, two bays of the original 1560 structure remain intact. Peg-holes suggest that the original house consisted of two bays. The central truss features an arched brace tie beam, and all the main posts have heavy, jowled heads. There is an original partition wall on the ground floor separating the two rooms. The hall boasts a fine ceiling from around 1560, made of double ogee moulded joists that are closely set and laid flat, with leaf moulded stops. The main beam and cornice have similar, larger mouldings. The house is notable for its timber framing and the ceiling in the hall.
