Description

Monks Farmhouse is a building dating from around 1700. It has two storeys and is plastered, featuring a steeply pitched roof covered with peg tiles and two red brick chimneys at either end. The central entrance on the ground floor is framed by a case with a pediment, and the door itself has four panels with five lights above it. On either side of the door, there are sash windows in exposed boxes, each with small panes. Additionally, there are three matching windows along the first storey, and the eaves are present.
