Description
Telfords Farmhouse is a cottage dating from the early 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with peg tile roofs. The main block has one storey with attics, and there is a two-storey crosswing at the west end, along with a 20th-century extension with a pyramid roof at the east end. The front features two gabled dormers on the slope, an off-centre slender stack on the ridge line, and a hipped roof over the crosswing. The windows are 20th-century casements with leaded lights, and there is a band of black weatherboarding around the lower wall areas of the building. The farmhouse was likely originally an open hall house and has undergone significant alterations, but it retains features such as arched braced storey posts and small arch braces to the crosswing tiebeam. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace and a chamfered cyma profiled bridging joist that supports the inserted floor.
