Description
Drapers Farm House is a house dating from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. It has two storeys and features a plain red tiled roof that is hipped to the left. There is a gabled two-storey bay added in the 19th or 20th century to the left and a wing at the rear on the right. The front has a 1:3 arrangement of various casement and sash windows. The house is timber framed and plastered, with 17th-century coving along the eaves. An off-centre red brick chimney stack is located to the left, with a 19th-century external red brick chimney to the right. The roof was replaced in the late 18th or early 19th century. At the rear, there is a panelled door with a pediment doorcase, and the rear wing has its timber frame exposed internally.
