Description

Games Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, with parts from around 1600 and possibly earlier. It features a timber frame with plaster and hipped roofs covered in peg tiles. The building has two storeys, with a jettied crosswing at the northwest end that showcases an exposed jetty bracket from the mid-16th century. The southeast end has a wing from around 1600 that is not jettied. The front of the farmhouse includes a lean-to hipped porch and 20th-century metal casement windows with small panes. There are stacks located against the side of the earlier crosswing and along the ridge line. The north wing retains its parlour door head, has stop-chamfered floor joists, internal wall bracing, and a complete window opening. The central block features jowled posts, cambered tie beams, and a later floor. An inglenook fireplace is located under the ridge line stack.
