Church Farm House

Church Farm House likely has origins in the 17th century or earlier, with the front range dating to the early 18th century. Later 20th-century extensions have been added. The main house is timber-framed to the rear, originally cased and extended in red brick with burnt headers. It has a tiled roof and a five-bay front. The house is two storeys and has an attic. The central entrance is framed by a traceried arch with a rectangular fanlight, an architrave, brackets, and a dentilled hood. It has flush-frame, multi-paned sash windows with gauged brick flat arches. There are two plat bands, the lower one returned. The eaves are formed by brackets. Three hipped dormers feature two-light casements, some with leaded lights. End stacks are present, and the gable end parapets have kneelers on a gambrel roof, with a lower second ridge behind. Attached to the rear is a lower, one-bay wing dated 1682, visible from a tie beam inside, with an entrance and side lights under a hood, and a first-floor leaded-light casement. Extending further back is a timber-framed earlier house, likely four bays, possibly originally an open hall. This section is one storey and has an attic and casement windows, with hipped dormers. The left return from the front has one attic sash window and a blocked window. A setback early 20th-century extension replicates the 18th-century house in terms of materials and detail. Further 20th-century extensions extend to the rear of the 17th-century house. Inside the original house, there is some exposed timber, including chamfered binding beams and curved braces.
