Description
Bonteels Farm, formerly known as Ralph's Farmhouse, is a 16th to 17th century timber-framed and plastered house with some brick facing. It was renovated and altered in the 20th century. The building is two storeys high and features a three-window range with 20th century casements. A 20th century porch with a tiled roof projects from the front. The south front displays applied sham timber-framing. The roof is hipped and tiled. At the rear, there is a small wing extending from the east end. Inside, the house retains exposed timber-framing, ceiling beams, and joists.
