Adams Farm House

Adam's Farm House is a house dating from the late 16th century, which incorporates the service end of an earlier jettied house at the southern end, positioned at right angles to the road. There is a parallel rear range from the 17th century. The house was extended, plastered, and fitted with small paned Gothick casements in the early 19th century, and it underwent modern pargetting around 1980. It is timber-framed and plastered, featuring gabled roofs covered with red tiles. The front wall is faced in early 19th-century brick plaster, and there is a single-storey 19th-century extension at the southwest corner with a hipped roof.

The house is two storeys tall and has three windows facing west, with modern panelled pargetting and a central door. The upper windows are wooden casements with Gothick tracery in the heads and small panes. There are two five-sided bow windows with similar casements, linked by a lean-to tiled roof that extends over the modern plank door, which has carved consoles as brackets. The house has a large internal gable chimney axial at the south and an external gable chimney with a tiled offset at the north.

Inside, there is evidence that the front of the house was formerly jettied. The parallel two-storey rear wing has a large central chimney with four flues aligned across the ridge. The interior features exposed structural timbers, close studding with tension braces in the front range, jowled posts, and curved braces to the tie beams. A rebated doorpost and door head from the southern part of the house survive, which are remnants of the twin doors from the buttery and pantry of the older side-jettied house, of which the front wall and the front half of one bay still exist. This house is likely the first residence of the Adam family, who leased the farm called Widfordbury in 1548. It is a particularly interesting timber-framed house with exposed structures from several periods and is part of a picturesque farm group within the village's conservation area.
