Description
May Street Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse that features a timber-framed and plastered structure. The rear leanto is weather boarded and covered with corrugated iron. The hipped roof is thatched and slopes to the right, with a partly plastered stack on the roof and another stack located behind the ridge to the left. The building has two storeys and an attic, which includes a louvred attic window marked as the Cheese Room. The layout is a three-unit plan. There are two entrances on the left side, each with 19th-century doors and shallow bracketed hoods. The farmhouse has two three-light casement windows and two two-light casement windows on the first floor.
