Description

Tilekiln Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and partly weather-boarded, with a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The house has a 2-bay hall facing west, featuring a late 16th-century axial stack in the left bay. To the left, there is a 2-bay crosswing. A 17th-century rear extension from the crosswing angles inwards to align with the adjacent road, and there is a 20th-century single-storey lean-to extension in the rear angle. The crosswing is two storeys high, while the hall range is one storey with attics. The ground floor has three 20th-century casements, and there are two on the first floor, including one in a gabled dormer. A 19th-century half-glazed door with a gabled canopy is also present. Weatherboards are located on the lower storeys of both return walls.
