Description
Borley's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays that are aligned east to west, featuring an axial chimney stack located in the second bay from the east end. There is a 18th-century rear wing extending from the west bay, along with two single-storey extensions at the northeast angle, both of which have catslide roofs. The building stands two storeys tall and has a four-panel door set in a 20th-century porch. There are four casement windows on the ground floor, three on the first floor, and an additional window in a gabled dormer, all of which date from the 20th century. The chimney stack has two grouped diagonal shafts. Inside, the interior reveals exposed studding in the north wall, chamfered axial and transverse beams with lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists that have a horizontal section.
