Description

New Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century and 17th century. It is timber-framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main part of the house, which is four bays long, faces approximately southeast and features an external stack at the right end. At the rear left, there is a two-bay range from the 17th century, which has an axial stack at the junction and an external stack at the end, now enclosed by a single-storey lean-to extension. The house has two storeys, and all windows are 20th-century casements, with a 20th-century door.

Inside, the main range has jowled posts, plastered wall framing, and chamfered binding beams. The binding beam between the two left bays features a step stop on one side and a similar stop with the corners cut back on the other side, suggesting a date of around 1560. The binding beam between the two right bays has been reinforced with a grown knee, which is not original. The joists are plastered to the soffits, and the roof has clasped purlins with arched wind bracing.

The rear range has unjowled posts, chamfered beams with run-out stops, and plain joists of square and vertical sections, along with a clasped purlin roof that lacks wind bracing. This rear wing appears to be built on the site of a former medieval hall range and incorporates much reused timber from the earlier building. This includes a cambered tie-beam, a wallplate that is rebated for the shutters of an unglazed window (now crossing a post), and smoke-blackened rafters with oblique trenches for former collars. The axial beam of the rear bay is bolted to the soffit of the binding beam, indicating an early alteration. The house also features 20th-century grates.
