Description
Bentley Heath Farm House is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a 19th-century extension. It is constructed of brick and has a slate roof. The building features a double-pile design with extensions and a converted barn at the rear. It stands two storeys high and has a five-bay front. The central entrance is accessed by steps leading up to a door that is framed by pilasters and topped with a modillioned cornice. The windows are glazing bar sashes with lightly moulded timber frames, and the ground floor has rubbed brick heads. There is a rendered plinth and a plat band that separates the storeys. The house has end stacks and gable end parapets, along with a two-bay return.
Inside, there is a moulded bridging beam on the ground floor. The roof features a through purlin and a collar beam truss. At the rear, there is a lower separately roofed 19th-century extension that connects to a 18th-century timber-framed and weatherboarded barn. This barn has four bays, a clasped purlin roof, and queen struts supporting the tie beams. The barn has been converted.
