Description
Proctors Farmhouse is a late 16th-century timber-framed and plastered house that was originally a farmhouse. It is two storeys high, with the main block running parallel to the road and featuring a peg tile roof that is hipped at the west end and half hipped at the east end. At the rear, there is a two-storey extension built around 1900, which has a gabled peg tile roof. The front of the house includes a modern gabled porch with a shingled roof and modern casement windows with small panes. There is a gable and a red brick stack from the 19th century, along with an off-centre small red brick stack above a 17th-century inglenook fireplace. Originally, the house had a small open hall with a solar room at the west end, which was later raised to create a mansard roof and further enclosed to form a two-storey block. Inside, the structure retains features such as compression braces at the corners of the frame and halved and bladed scarf joints.
