Description
Gardener's Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. The building features a combination of partly timber framing clad with gault brick and partly painted brick, topped with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. It has four bays facing northeast, with an axial stack located in the second bay from the left end, which creates a lobby-entrance. There is an 18th-century wing at the back of the right end, along with 20th-century extensions on both the left and right sides, the latter being a single storey with a flat roof.
The farmhouse is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are five late 18th-century sash windows, each with 12 lights, including one adjacent pair, all featuring flat brick arches, along with three 20th-century sash windows. The first floor has five late 18th-century sash windows of 12 lights and two 20th-century sash windows. A half-glazed door is set within a 20th-century gabled porch. The walls have been raised by approximately one metre. Inside, some timber framing is exposed, showing close studding with curved tension braces that are trenched to the inside. There is a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, and the wallplate features face-halved and bladed scarfs. The house also contains two large wood-burning hearths, which are currently blocked.
