Description

Pannell's Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed, mostly plastered, with some weatherboarding, and has a thatched roof. The house has four bays facing southwest, featuring an axial stack located one bay from the left end and an external stack at the right end. There is a single-storey extension with a slate roof at the rear of the left end. The building is one storey with attics and includes three early 20th-century sash windows with 16 lights each, plus one additional sash window in a slated swept dormer. The front entrance has a plain boarded door from the 20th century. The roof is half-hipped at both ends. Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops and thin joists that were originally plastered on the underside but are now stripped. The rear wallplate features a face-halved and bladed scarf joint, while the front wallplate is splinted. The owners have maintained a continuous series of leases and deeds from the manor of Nicholls since 1738.
