Rolls Farmhouse

Rolls Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring some exposed framing, and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The main range has three bays aligned east-west, with an axial stack located in the middle bay, and there is a three-bay crosswing to the east. A single-storey extension from the 19th century is attached to the west, which has an external stack at the end. The house is two storeys high.

On the north elevation, the ground floor includes one early 19th-century sash window with 20 lights, one 20th-century casement, and one 19th-century casement. The first floor has one early 19th-century sash window with 4 + 8 lights and another with 20 lights. There is an altered early 19th-century six-panel door. The crosswing jetties out to the north. On the south elevation, the ground floor of the main range has a two-window range of early 19th-century sashes with 16 lights, while the first floor features two blocked original windows, each with three moulded mullions. The crosswing has one 20th-century sash window on each floor and two blocked original windows on the ground floor, each with one moulded mullion.

Inside the main range, there are jowled posts and a doorway with a plain doorhead leading to the west (service) bay. The wide wood-burning hearth does not obstruct the original cross-entry and is still in use. There is a full-length underbuilt jetty to the south; the axial beam is chamfered and unstopped, and the joists are plain and of horizontal section. The parlour or solar crosswing is accessed through a doorway with a thin Tudor doorhead. The joists in this area are of horizontal section, roll-moulded to the north and plain to the south, and the beam is moulded. The roof of the crosswing is of queen-strut construction and has been repaired. The roof of the main range is inaccessible but appears to have been much repaired. There is no clear explanation for the unusual feature where the main range was originally jettied to the south while the crosswing jetted to the north.
