Description
School Farmhouse is a 17th-century house located on Langham School Road. It is timber-framed and plastered, featuring two storeys and a ridged, gabled roof covered with peg tiles. There is a red brick chimney stack on the east side of the building. The ground floor includes a front door made up of four fielded panels, set in a wide case with a flat hood supported by brackets. To the left of the door are two large pairs of sliding sash windows with small panes, while to the right is a smaller pair of similar sliding sashes. Above the door, on the first storey, there is a set of three leaded casement windows in 17th-century iron frames.
