Description
Fishers Farmhouse, including a single storey range to the rear, is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century and late 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with peg tile roofs. The building is two storeys high and nearly square in shape, consisting of two parallel ranges, with the roof extending across the northern end and featuring hips at the northwest and northeast corners. The west range has two gabled dormers and a ridge line stack, while the east range has a large 'L' plan form ridge line stack. The windows are 20th century casements, each with a single horizontal glazing bar. The north front features a central rustic gabled porch. The east range is part of a larger late 16th century house, showcasing close studding and remnants of ovolo mullioned windows. The rear half of this range, behind the large inglenook stack, has been rebuilt. The west range is a late 17th century house that is now connected to the earlier range by a two-storey corridor, which includes a central inglenook stack and much reused timber. Inside, there is a 17th century panelled door on the stairs, and the attic stairs feature an upper balustrade made of simple 17th century turned balusters. To the rear, and formerly connected, is a single storey pantiled brewhouse and outbuilding with rendered clay lump walls, an old boiler, and an oven.
