Description

Hoggetts Farmhouse is a 17th century house that was extensively altered in the 18th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a weatherboarded front and gables, topped by a red plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-window range of casements with glazing bars, along with three gabled dormers that also have casements. A central red brick chimney stack is present, and there are 19th century extensions at the rear.
