Description

Friar's Farmhouse is a house that dates from the 16th or 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 18th century and later. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a red plain tiled roof that is hipped to the left. The building features a coved eaves cornice and has an off-centre red brick chimney stack, along with a concertina shaft red brick chimney stack on the right return. The house has two storeys and a lower range extension at the rear right.

The front of the house has a four-window range of vertically sliding sash windows with glazing bars set in moulded surrounds, and there is a small paned vertically sliding sash window at the rear right. The entrance on the off-centre right consists of a two-light door with a moulded surround and a moulded stepped flat canopy above it. Inside, notable features include an inglenook fireplace, stop-chamfered bridging joists, and a carved jowl inscribed with "W.A.-S." There are also original nailed board and muntin doors, along with two other original doors. At the rear, there is a brick and flint dairy room.
