Cobbs Farmhouse

Cobbs Farmhouse is a two-storey and attic timber-framed farmhouse with rendered walls and a steep half-hipped clay peg tile roof. It appears to date from the 17th century or early 18th century, but it was originally a 15th-century hall house with one, and likely a second, crosswing. A large red brick chimney stack from the 17th century is located on the ridge. The left-hand hipped end of the front projects, which is the surviving crosswing that is presumed to have contained the solar. The windows are lattice casement from the 20th century, and there is a hipped dormer in the center of the main roof pitch. At the rear, there is a 17th-century stair tower. Inside, the hall space has been significantly altered, with the floor likely inserted in the 16th century. The main roof features a collar truss type that incorporates reused timbers and is probably from the 18th century. However, a side purlin windbrace roof structure, likely a 17th-century reroofing, survives under the 18th-century roof over the crosswing.
