Description

Blixes Farmhouse is a house that has been extended to form two separate homes. It dates from the early 17th century and has been altered in the 20th century. The building is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It features four bays facing north, with an axial stack located in the second bay from the right end. There is a wing at the rear of the right bay, also with an axial stack, creating an L-plan, and a 20th-century single-storey lean-to extension beyond this wing. To the left of the main range, there is a large 20th-century extension with an axial stack, which combines with the two left bays to form a separate house. The main range has two storeys, while the rear wing is one storey with attics. On the ground floor, there are three 20th-century splayed bays of casements and one additional 20th-century casement. The first floor has three 20th-century casements. The house features a large hipped porch with a 20th-century door, and the roof is half-hipped at both ends. Notable architectural details include jowled posts, face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, and chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops in both ranges.
