Description
Goodmans Farmhouse is a 15th-century timber-framed and plastered house featuring a central hall with cross wings at both the east and west ends. The building has been altered in the 17th century and later. The cross wings are jettied on the upper storey on the north front. It is two storeys high and has a four-window range, with 18th and 19th-century double-hung sash windows, some of which have glazing bars. The ground storey windows are mainly three-light. The roof is tiled and includes a 17th-century chimney stack at the east end, which has diagonally set shafts.
