Description

Lordship Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with possible later additions and 19th-century alterations. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure, with 18th-century pargetting, flint casing, and a painted brick plinth. The roofs are primarily plain tiled, with some sections slated from the 19th century. The south gable has a rebuilt brick stack with two diagonal shafts, and there is a tall side stack on the cross wing.

The building has a long two-storey range running north-south, which includes an early 16th-century jettied cross wing that extends east-west, topped with a hipped gablet roof to the east and an original bargeboard on the west gable. Some parts of the earlier structure may still be present despite the 19th-century modifications to the main range.

On the east elevation, lean-tos flank the projecting cross wing, which features a gabled entrance porch on the right side. The entrance door has four panels, and there are four ground floor windows and four first floor windows of various sizes, all with glazing bars. Inside, the details are from the 19th century, including boxed ceiling beams. The farmhouse is situated within a moat and may have originally served as a manor house; it was recognized as the manor farm by 1862.
