Description

Perrywood Farm House is a house dating from the mid to late 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber frame with roughcast rendering and has a steeply pitched tiled roof that is slightly raised. The house consists of three cells, likely originally designed as a through passage and possibly part open. It has one storey and an attic.

The entrance is located to the left of the centre and includes a recessed panelled door set in a cyma moulded architrave, with a boarded pentice porch. To the left of the entrance is a two-light flush metal frame small pane casement, while to the right are one and three-light flush frame small pane casements. There is a single light gabled dormer to the right of centre. An early inserted cross axial ridge stack is positioned to the left of centre, and there is a 19th-century stock brick external stack on the left gable end. The right gable end features a two-light casement in the attic, with the line of the original roof still visible.

At the rear, there is a door similar to the front, above which is a small two-light flush moulded frame leaded casement. The rear also includes two and three-light modern casements and two gabled dormers. Attached to the left is a low hipped kitchen outshut with an entrance and a two-light small pane metal casement. A small slate-roofed shed is located to the far left.

Inside, the house has stop-chamfered axial binding beams, an exposed frame of large scantling, jowled posts, and curved braces.
