Hoses Farmhouse

Hoses Farmhouse is a house dating from the 15th or 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame, partly brick-nogged with exposed framing, and partly plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has a two-bay hall range aligned north-south, with two crosswings that create a half-H plan, facing east. There are external chimney stacks located at the rear of the hall range and on the south elevation, dating from the 16th or 17th century. A 17th-century rear extension is attached to the north crosswing. In the 19th century, single-storey lean-to extensions were added at the southwest angle and to the rear of the south crosswing. The farmhouse is two storeys tall, and both crosswings are jettied; the north one has three exposed plain brackets. The walls below the jetties and the section between them feature exposed framing with brick nogging, some of which is original and some is reproduction. There is a plain halved door and a range of four 20th-century casement windows. The south chimney stack has two octagonal shafts that have been shortened and rebuilt at the top. Inside, the farmhouse contains moulded beams and joists.
