Blackbirds Farm House

Blackbirds Farm House is a Grade II listed building that was originally a barn, likely built in the late 16th century and converted into a house in the 17th century. It was extended in the 19th century and altered in the 20th century. The structure features a timber frame on a brick base and is weatherboarded, topped with a steeply pitched machine-tiled roof. The building has been converted from four or five bays into a two-storey lobby entry, with the entrance located to the left of the centre. It includes two and three-light casement windows and a large axial ridge stack with a rebuilt cap. At the rear, there is a catslide roof over a 19th-century brick addition on the left, along with further ground floor additions. Inside, there is an English bond double fireplace, straight and curved braces connecting jowled posts to tie beams, and an ogee stop-chamfered binding beam. The house adjoins No. 5 Blackbird Lane, which was built in the 18th century to enlarge this property.
