Description

Orger's Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 17th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a thatched roof. The house has four bays facing south, with a chimney stack located against the rear wall in the second bay from the left end, which creates a lobby-entrance. There is a 19th-century extension at the rear of the left end, built from red brick and flint, featuring a roof with plain and scalloped red clay tiles and an end stack. There are also single-storey lean-to extensions in the rear angle and at the right end. The building is one storey with attics and includes a 20th-century square bay and a two-window range of 20th-century casements. The front features a door beneath a 20th-century tiled gabled porch with grouped diagonal shafts. Inside, there are some exposed studding, chamfered axial beams, and exposed plain joists.
