Farmhouse At Cheynes Farm

Cheynes Farm is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century, featuring a crosswing and a hall range that was altered in the late 16th century. There is also a one-storey kitchen wing added in the 19th century. The building is constructed of timber frame with roughcast and has steep old red tile roofs. It is a long, two-storey house with a T-plan layout, facing east. The south crosswing has three bays, jetties out at the front, and projects to the rear with a hipped west end. A large central chimney with a moulded 16th-century lintel is located at the junction of the hall and the crosswing. The entry is at the lower end of the hall, which features an axial floor beam. Inside, there is a three-centred arched brick fireplace in the parlour. The east front has four windows on each floor and an additional window in the jettied gable at the southeast, which has a canted bay below it. The windows are three-light flush transomed casement windows that have been renewed. The large red brick central chimney has three diagonally set shafts. Inside, exposed timbers can be seen, with close-studding and tension bracing in the south wing. The house was referred to as Osbournes in a will from 1577.
