Fennes Farmhouse Including Attached Garden Wall To North West

Fennes Farmhouse is a house that consists of three main sections: the front range built around 1840, a central section from the late 18th century, and a rear range dating back to the early 16th century, which was raised by one storey in the 18th century. There are also 19th-century service ranges at the rear. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with the front range made of gault brick, and part of the 18th-century section also clad in gault brick. It has a Welsh slate roof. The 18th and 19th-century sections form a rectangular block with a central stair and entrance hall layout. The rear range consists of one room with a lateral stack and an inserted straight stair.

The facade features three bays, with the central bay projecting forward and adorned with a pediment, decorative frieze, and angle pilasters. There is a moulded cornice and a stucco Doric porch that is distyle in antis. The entrance has double leaf half-glazed doors, and the sash windows are set under gauged brick arches that drop to ground level. The first-floor sashes have margin lights and stucco cills, with the central sash framed in a pilastered architrave topped with a cornice. On the garden elevation, the window bays also project forward, and there is a single-storey 19th-century canted bay.

Inside, the early 16th-century range features a moulded beam and center tenon joists with run-out stops. The inglenook fireplace has been rebuilt in 18th-century red brick with a stone surround and a central keyblock. The 18th-century section includes an early 19th-century staircase with stick balusters and a mahogany ramped and wreathed handrail. The former library on the garden side has a raised and fielded dado, arched recesses flanking the fireplace, and a dentilled cornice, along with an early 19th-century marble fireplace. The front range also has marble fireplaces and moulded cornices.

Attached to the left (north) side is a late 18th-century quadrant wall made of red brick in Flemish bond, with a 19th-century carriage arch inserted next to the house. The farmhouse is situated on a moated site.
