Description
Church Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house that features a timber frame with a stucco exterior and painted brick base walls, topped with a slate roof. The building has a double pile plan and faces approximately southeast, with two internal chimney stacks symmetrically placed. It stands two storeys tall and has a central six-panel door set in a simple doorcase with a shallow hood. There are two original double-hung sash windows with 16 lights on the ground floor, and on the first floor, there are two similar windows and one with 12 lights, all original and some featuring crown glass. The elevation is symmetrical, and the hipped roof has a shallow pitch, with chimney shafts made of gault brick. The stucco is marked to imitate stone blocks. This building is included for its group value with the Parish Church, The Red Lion, and the barn of Church Farm.
