Description
Street Farmhouse and The Granary is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main house has three bays facing east, featuring a late 16th-century stack in the middle bay that forms a lobby entrance. There is a rear wing extending from the left bay and a stair tower in the rear angle. To the right, there is an originally separate building with three bays aligned east-west, which has a central stack and extends forward to the road, linking to the main house at the ground floor only.
The main house is two storeys tall, while the rear and right wings are one storey with attics. On the ground floor, there are two splayed bays with early 19th-century sash windows that have marginal lights. The first floor features three early 19th-century sash windows, also with marginal lights. There is a plain door set in a 19th-century gabled porch. The roof is hipped at the right end only, and the grouped diagonal shafts have been rebuilt. The right wing includes garage doors, a weatherboarded dado, and a 19th-century casement window on the upper floor.
At the rear of the main house, there are two 18th-century windows, one with three lights and the other with two lights, each featuring wrought iron casements. Inside, the middle and right bays have axial beams that are chamfered with step stops, while the joists are plain and of horizontal section. The left bay has a moulded beam, with plastered joists on the soffits. The moulding resembles that of Sunnyside House. The structure includes jowled posts, close studding, and an edge-halved and bridled scarf in the wallplate, with a crownpost roof. The left crownpost is chamfered to an octagonal section with step stops and axial braces. Original wattle and daub infill is present, with the upper right wall retaining the original combed pattern on the inside.
