Description
Old Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1800, with restoration carried out in the mid to late 20th century. It features a timber frame, a rendered exterior, and a pantiled roof with grey brick stacks. The house has a three-bay plan and is two storeys high, with an entrance leading to a small hall and stair bay. The front has three flush frame, twelve-pane hung sash windows that were added around 1984, along with a panelled door that has small glazed upper panels. The framing consists of slender scantling and straight bracing. At the rear, there is a single-storey outhouse made of flint and brick.
