Description

Fowler's Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1400, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of timber framing and brick, with a plastered exterior and a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of two bays aligned northeast to southwest, with a single-storey extension from the 18th century to the southeast that has an end stack, and a lean-to extension to the southwest. There is also a mid-19th century brick range to the northwest, which now serves as the entrance and features two internal rear stacks. The house has two storeys and a cellar.

On the ground floor, there are two pairs of mid-19th century sash windows, each with two horizontal lights and crown glass. The first floor has two similar sash windows, along with a central sash window featuring four vertical lights. The entrance is through a central four-panel door located in a gabled porch made of plastered brick, which has 19th century serpentine bargeboards. The entrance range also has similar sash windows on each return.

The middle range of the house jetties at both ends. At the northeast end, there are three wide plain brackets and an early 19th century sash window with ten lights on each floor. At the southwest end, there are two wide plain brackets and a horizontal sash window with six lights on the ground floor. This range features a boxed-in binding beam, joists that are plastered to the soffits, and a crownpost roof with a cross-quadrate central crownpost that has broach stops and wide four-way rising braces. The rear extension includes primary straight bracing and incorporates some re-used medieval timber. The middle range was originally the crosswing of an open hall that extended to the southeast, with the remainder of the hall demolished. A cambered tiebeam in the current service range may be from this original structure.
