Description
No 2 (Farmhouse Garden) is a 15th century house built in an H-plan, constructed from timber framing and plaster. The east crosswing features a jettied design, while the west wing is underbuilt. A large, plastered, red brick chimney is situated near the junction of the east wing. The roofs are ridged, gabled, and covered with peg tiles, and a red brick chimney stack is located on the north wall of the west wing. The building has a 19th century door set within a modern porch, and the windows are modern casements. The crosswings are three bays long, suggesting a later date for this architectural style.
