Markswood Farmhouse

Markswood Farmhouse is a house with origins dating back to the 15th century or earlier, featuring alterations and additions from the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries. The structure is timber framed and plastered, topped with red plain tiled roofs and a central red brick chimney stack. The eaves are supported by double brackets. The building has two storeys and a cellar, with a 20th-century crosswing gable on the left side. The windows consist of a 1:2 range of 20th-century leaded three-light casements. To the right of the original range is a 20th-century enclosed gabled porch, which includes a vertically boarded door. Originally, the farmhouse had two gabled ranges with an 18th-century facade, and the right range featured collars for each rafter pair, although these collars are now missing. Inside, notable features include a back-to-back fireplace, stop-chamfered bridging joists, and 18th-century vertically boarded doors with wrought ironmongery, including a door to the cellar.
