Description
Town End Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-17th century that was altered and enlarged in the early 19th century. The original timber frame has been cased or replaced with gault brick. It features a steeply pitched pantiled roof with a mid-17th century red brick ridge stack that has diagonally set grouped shafts. The house has a three-bay lobby entry plan and is two storeys high. There are three 19th century horizontal sliding sash windows on both the first and ground floors. An early 19th century flat-roofed porch with slender ring-shafted columns and a moulded wooden cornice leads to the entrance, which has two glazed upper panels. The rear of the house has been enlarged with an early 19th century outshut made of flint with red brick dressings.
