Description

Jenkins Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with some of the timber frame exposed on the front elevation. The building has two storeys and an 'L' shaped plan, topped with gabled roofs covered in peg tiles. The main range features a long wall jetty and a large off-centre ridge line stack with six octagonal shafts. The front has 20th-century metal casement windows with large panes and a 20th-century gabled porch with a peg tile roof and imitation framing. There is a slate-roofed lean-to at the rear.

Inside, the timber frame is exposed, showcasing chamfered bridging joists and joists at the north end. The hall bay contains bridging joists with ogee and hollow mouldings. At the south end, there is an additional bay, while the northernmost bay was the former service end. The major stack has two arch-headed brick fireplaces on the first floor, one of which retains its original plaster coating. The scarf joints are halved and bridled, and the roof, rebuilt around 1800, features king posts and 'V' struts.
