Fardings Farmhouse

Fardings Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has three bays facing southeast, featuring external stacks at both ends and a two-storey rear extension. It stands two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century sash windows. The first floor has two early 19th-century sash windows with 16 lights made of crown glass, along with one 20th-century sash window. The entrance is a central 20th-century door. Inside, there are jowled posts, some exposed studding with curved braces set into the interior, and chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, along with plain joists of vertical section. The house was likely originally designed as a lobby-entrance house with a central stack, which was removed to create a central entrance hall in the 18th or early 19th century.
