Description

Redricks Farm House is a 17th century or earlier timber-framed house with a late 19th century front wing, located on Redricks Lane. The building is two storeys high and has a plastered exterior under a steep old tiled gabled roof. The front wing is two storeys, constructed of brick and rendered, and features a hipped slate roof. The main front faces north and includes a cross wing at the eastern end, while the western part of the front is obscured by the later front wing.

The main range has low first-floor windows, suggesting it may date back to the 16th century or earlier, with a 17th-century floor and chimney stack added in the hall. A large chimney with short diagonal shafts rises through the rear slope of the roof near the middle of the range, and there is an external gable chimney on the west side. The front of the cross wing has a shallow pentice roof that extends from the eaves of the main range to the west. There are two windows on each floor, featuring three-light wood mullioned windows with rectangular leaded panes and iron casements. The corner door leading into the late 19th-century wing is a four-panelled door from the late 18th century, with moulded upper panels and a pilastered wooden surround that supports a moulded flat hood.

The west and south walls are plastered and include paired late 19th-century sash windows and modern three-light wooden casements. The front wing, which is not shown on the 1879 Ordnance Survey map, is symmetrical with a two-storey, three-window north front and features gable chimneys. The central round-arched doorway has a keystone and brick pilasters, with a recessed four-panel door and fanlight. On either side of the door, there are three-light sash windows on both floors, with a combination of 1/1, 2/2, and 1/1 panes.

At the southern end of the property, there is a single-storey, 18th-century timber-framed gabled storage wing, which is weatherboarded and has a pantiled roof. Adjacent to it is a small square early 19th-century timber-framed weatherboarded privy with a pyramid slate roof, featuring scalloped slating, metal ridges, and a square finial. The east side of the privy is symmetrical, with a four-panel flush beaded door flanked by a small window under the eaves. This farmhouse complex showcases adaptations and additions from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
