Rivett'S Farmhouse

Rivett's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of three bays aligned approximately north to south, representing the late 16th century, likely as the crosswing of a hall house, with the remainder of the original structure now demolished. The entrance is on the south side.

To the right of the rear bay, there is a stair tower with a lean-to roof, dating from around 1600, and an 18th-century extension that follows the same roof line in front of it. There is an external stack on the left side, which was rebuilt around 1900, and a rear stack with a two-bay extension from around 1600, featuring a 19th-century external stack at the end. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to extension in the right rear angle, dating from the 19th century.

The front range has two storeys with attics, while the rear range also has two storeys. There is one 20th-century casement window on the ground floor, and additional windows on the first and attic floors. The entrance features a half-glazed door with a gabled porch, added around 1900.

Inside the front range, there are moulded transverse and axial beams, posts that are chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and jowls cut to a scroll profile. Some close studding is exposed, along with original floorboards. The rear range has a chamfered beam, plain joists of deep section, and an edge-halved and bridled scarf in the left wallplate, with plain jowls and original floorboards. The stair tower contains an original newel stair with a newel-post that has a 16-sided section, along with turned balusters below the top-rail. There is a moulded four-plank door on the ground floor and a moulded three-plank door on the first floor, both dating from around 1600, as well as a small area of early 17th-century oak panelling.
