Description
South Heath Farmhouse is a cottage dating from around 1600, with later alterations. It is constructed from timber framing and plaster, topped with a thatched roof that is half hipped to the left. The building has two storeys and features a central red brick chimney stack. The façade includes a two-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes. There is a central gabled porch made of weatherboarding, which has a vertically boarded door. Inside, notable features include back-to-back fireplaces, one of which has a semi-circular back. The walls exhibit through bracing, and there are jowled storey posts, chamfered bridging joists, and a halved and bladed top plate scarf. The stairs are positioned around the chimney.
