Skinners Farmhouse

Skinners Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with an earlier core, featuring a dark red brick facing from the 18th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, arranged in a triple range with a red plain tiled roof and a wing at the rear. It has two storeys, with a five-window range on the first floor and a three-window range on the ground floor, all fitted with small paned vertical sliding sashes and gauged brick arches. The farmhouse has a red brick plinth and a 20th-century gabled, glazed, enclosed porch on the right, which has a glazed door and a red plain tiled roof, accessed by steps. There are two plastered red brick chimney stacks. Inside, the house features chamfered bridging joists and internal 18th and 19th-century shutters on the front windows, along with 20th-century external shutters. The interior also includes very heavy 17th-century stop-chamfered bridging joists and floor joists, a doorway dating around 1500, and several 18th-century doors with original ironmongery. Additionally, there is a blocked cellar.
