Description

Buck Farm is a house that dates from the 17th or 18th century, with alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is primarily timber framed and plastered, topped with red plain tiled roofs. It features red brick chimney stacks on the right gabled crosswing and a left single-storey addition. The layout is complex, with the right gabled crosswing having two storeys and attics, while the attached single-storey building has a roof that is hipped to the left. There is also a two-storey range with a roof hipped to the left at an angle.

The single-storey range includes two vertically sliding sash windows with glazing bars and a half-glazed door. The right crosswing has a two-window range and an attic window, all of which are vertically sliding sashes with glazing bars. The ground floor features a hipped, red tiled bay to the right, and to the left of the bay is a six-panelled door with a light above and a flat canopy supported by brackets. The crosswing gables are adorned with pierced bargeboards.
