Description

Paul's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations and a 20th-century addition to the north. The building is timber framed and plastered, featuring red plain tiled roofs and a red brick chimney stack. It has two storeys and the south face displays a three-window range of 20th-century three-light casements. There is an off-centre left 20th-century red tiled porch with a vertically boarded door. The north range, also from the 20th century, is two storeys high and includes a porch with a vertically boarded door, alongside a single-storey lean-to extension to the right of the gable. The original structure consists of three bays, with stop-chamfered bridging joists and a restored inglenook fireplace.
