Description
Hole Farmhouse is a house that features a front block dating from the 18th century or early 19th century, which is timber-framed and plastered. At the rear, there is an older block that may date back to the 16th century, with a brick that has a scratched date of 1672. The house underwent renovations in the 20th century. It has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range consisting of double-hung sashes with glazing bars set in flush cased frames. The outer windows are fitted with louvred shutters. A modern central gabled porch has been added, and the roof is tiled, featuring one gabled dormer on the front.
