Faggoters Farmhouse

Faggoters Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is a timber-framed building, with plastered walls and a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The house is arranged with four bays running approximately east to west, and features an axial chimney stack in the second bay from the east. A single-storey rear wing extends from the west end of the house. A flat-roofed, two-storey extension projects at the east end, to the rear, and a lean-to extension with a catslide roof lies between this and the other rear wing. The house has two storeys, with a six-panel door, the top four panels glazed, set within a 20th-century flat-roofed porch. There are five double-hung sash windows, featuring 16 lights, on the ground floor, and five further sash windows of 9 lights on the first floor, all of an early 19th-century style. The roof is hipped to the west and half-hipped to the east. On the ground floor, in the room to the east of the chimney stack, the transverse and axial beams are plain and chamfered, with run-out stops shaped like a lamb’s tongue; elsewhere, these beams are boxed in. Some exposed timber framing is visible within the original rear wing, characterised by heavy studding.
