Description

Fanners Farmhouse is a timber-framed and plastered house dating from the 15th century, featuring a cross wing at the southeast end. Originally, there was a cross wing at the northwest end, but this has been destroyed. A modern gabled wing has been added to the southeast end. The cross wing jetties on the first storey, while the main block has one storey and attics, and the cross wing has two storeys. The windows are casements with glazing bars. The roof is tiled and includes three modern dormer windows on the main block. The building was renovated in the 20th century.
