Description
Pope Mill Farmhouse is a hall house dating from the 15th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 16th and 20th centuries. The house is timber-framed and has plaster walls and a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. It is arranged around a hall aligned approximately northwest to southeast, facing southwest, with two gabled crosswings extending to the rear, creating an irregular half-H shaped plan; the southeastern wing is the longer of the two. A 16th-century axial chimney stack is located at the northwest of the hall. A single-story extension with a catslide roof connects the rear wings. The northwest wing is two stories high with an attic, while the hall block is one story high with an attic, and the southeast wing is two stories high. A 20th-century door is set within a tiled gabled porch at the front, and there are four 20th-century light alloy windows on the ground floor, three more on the first floor (one within a gabled dormer, and one in the attic). Three attached diagonal chimney shafts are present.
