Description
Horsefrith Park Farmhouse is a timber-framed and plastered house originating from the 17th century, which has undergone significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries and was renovated in the 20th century. The south front is faced in red brick and features three crow-stepped gables. The building is three storeys high with a three-window range. The ground and first storey windows are paired double-hung sashes with margin glazing bars, while the second storey windows are double-hung sashes with vertical glazing bars. All windows have stuccoed flat arches with keystones. The north front also has three gables, with windows that are partly double-hung sashes with glazing bars and partly casements; the central gable features a large semi-circular headed window. The roof is tiled.
