Mitchell's Farmhouse

Mitchell's Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with refacing and additions from the early to mid-19th century and refurbishment in the 20th century. It features a timber-framed structure, rendered and faced with red brick, topped with a 20th-century pantiled roof. The building has an uneven T-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall.

The front southwest elevation is brick-faced and includes a four-window range, with a principal grouping of three windows and an additional single window bay at the southeast end. All the principal windows are from the 19th century and are sash windows with glazing bars. On the ground floor, there are three-canted bay windows at each outer end, built on brick bases with slated hipped roofs, featuring 1x4, 3x4, and 1x4 panes. The segment-headed front doorway has a moulded architrave and a six-panel door with a three-pane overlight, accompanied by an adjacent segment-headed window with side margin glazing bars, consisting of five panes by two panes. The first floor has three windows, all with margin glazing, each containing five panes by four panes. The single bay extension has segment-headed windows on both the ground and first floors, featuring three panes by two panes in sash style.

The northwest end has a 17th-century exterior stack, while the southeast end of the principal range also has a 17th-century stack, with a 19th-century stack towards the northwest end. The northeast rear elevation is rendered and has a wing projecting towards the southeast end with a slight end jetty, while the adjacent range to the south is blank. To the northwest, there are two 19th-century doors, one with four panels and bead moulding, and one boarded, with a three-light sliding sash window in between. The first floor has one three-light casement window. The northwest end elevation features a gable end with a large 17th-century shouldered stack and windows on the northeast side on both the ground and first floors, consisting of a casement and a sliding sash respectively, with additional windows on the ground and first floors of the rear wing. The southeast end elevation has a 19th-century brick-facing wall at the front edge of the timber framing, a plain 20th-century door, and behind it, there are two ground floor and one first floor casement windows.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is evident that the house evolved from a 17th-century structure with end stacks, and the rear jettied wing is likely older, possibly dating to the late 16th century.
