Description

Tan Farmhouse is a house dating back to the 15th century, with an addition to the front on the road side built in the 17th century. The house is in the shape of an 'L'. It has a timber frame construction with plaster filling the gaps between the timbers, and red tiled roofs, with a half-hip and gablet design on the right-hand side. It is two storeys high and has four windows with 20th-century diamond-leaded casements. A 20th-century plank and muntin door with a side light provides access. The top plates have a halved and bridled scarf joint.

The rear wing, dating back to the 15th century, features a two-storey jettied porch on the north side and a six-light mullion window. The south face includes a single-story gabled porch with original 17th-century turned balusters, a five-light mullion window, and a long wall jetty. This section, originally built around 1450, initially had two jetties; the southern one was filled in, and the northern one reduced in width around 1600, when a back-to-back chimney was inserted diagonally. There is also an octagonal chimney with two original fireplaces dating to the mid-17th century. A number of original doors from the early 18th century remain, and the brick floors have been restored. The roofs are of a two-arm crownpost construction. One room has moulded ceiling joists, while others have stop-chamfered beams, some with inverted chamfers.
