Description

This is a farmhouse located at Rotten Row Farm, dating from the late medieval period and altered in subsequent centuries. The building features a timber frame with roughcast exterior and a steeply pitched slate roof, while the rear wing is covered with old red tiles. It has a two-bay former open-hall plan and a two-storey crosswing at the west end, also consisting of two bays.

In the late 16th century, the hall was partly floored, and in the early 17th century, the wing was extended to the rear by two bays, featuring a large central chimney that serves both sections. Service rooms, likely located to the west of the hall, were demolished, and a large chimney was constructed at the west end of the hall. A northwest wing was added in the later 17th century.

In the early 18th century, a staircase was inserted opposite the now central front door, and the front wall was raised. The south front is two storeys high and three windows wide, with flush box sash windows featuring 8/8 panes, except for a 6/6 pane window above the door. The entrance has a glazed door with small panes and a fanlight, set under a gabled glazed porch. The L-shaped wing on the northeast has three-light casement windows. This farmhouse is likely the manor house of Hotofts manor, as referenced in historical documents.
