Spital Farm House

House. Dating from the 17th century, Spital Farm House is a timber-framed building, now rendered with some red brick. It has a gabled plain tile roof and a central ridgeline stack. The house consists of two parallel ranges, with a single-storey outbuilding projecting forward on the north corner. The front of the house has a catslide porch, tiled and with one glazed side, linking to the outhouse. There's a 20th-century door and a six-pane metal window. The southwest elevation incorporates two six-pane casements in the front range and one 12-pane, two-light casement on the ground floor of the rear range. The rear (southeast) elevation displays a roof with two differing ridgelines, with a stack at the level change. Part of this elevation is obscured by a 20th-century conservatory; it also features a six-pane casement and a tall, thin 20th-century slit window. The northeast elevation has four 20th-century windows and a six-pane casement in the gable of the front range. The attached outhouse is part red brick and part exposed framing, with a gabled plain tile roof. Inside the front range, there are two bays of wide timber framing with jowled posts and an A-frame roof. The spine beam is stop-chamfered. The narrower rear range also has a similar spine beam. One room in the southern corner has a late 18th-century dentilled cornice and doors: one with a moulded architrave and raised-and-fielded panels, and another with four raised-and-fielded panels over flush panels. There are two inserted stacks of relatively late date. The building was likely an agricultural building from the late 16th or early 17th century, and was converted into a house in the late 18th century.
