Description

Godbults Farmhouse is a building likely dating from the 15th century. It has an H-plan layout with long wings that are framed in timber and plastered, topped with ridged, gabled roofs covered in peg tiles. The farmhouse features a central red brick chimney stack. On the ground floor, there is a central gabled porch, and each cross-wing has leaded casement windows with a 1/1 configuration. Additionally, there is one gabled dormer on the hall roof and a gabled bay window to the left of the porch on the ground floor. Inside, the heavy timber frame is visible.
