Description
Chigborough Farmhouse is a house that features a 19th-century front range and rear ranges that date back to the 15th century or earlier, with later alterations. The front range is constructed of red brick and has a red plain tiled roof, flanked by red brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes. At the center, there is a gabled glazed porch with glazed double doors.
The rear house and crosswing range are timber framed and plastered, consisting of three bays with jowled storey posts. The ground floor ceiling showcases chamfered, tenoned, and morticed hanging knee supports, along with heavy stop-chamfered bridging joists. A restored red brick fireplace is present, and the first floor is open to collars with moulded arched bracing extending from the jowls to the collars. Additionally, there is an original three-light mullion window and a very heavy bridging joist in the north range.
