Description
Baldwins Farmhouse is a 17th-century house designed in an L-plan, with the main range running north to south. The roofs have eaves, ridges, and gables, featuring one gabled dormer on the east side. The building is timber framed and weatherboarded, with peg tiled roofs. The front door is located against the crosswing at the southern end. On the ground floor, there is a range of three modern casement windows. The north gable is plastered and has a small red brick chimney stack on the ridge near the north end.
