Description

Quickswood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century. A rear left wing was added in the late 17th century, and a range was added parallel to this wing in the 18th century. The building features an 18th-century red brick casing and has a plain tile roof with a large 17th-century chimney stack that has six diagonal shafts on a square base. The interior is timber framed. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five 19th and 20th-century glazing bar casements and sashes, with the ground floor windows featuring shallow segmental heads. There is a half-glazed mid-19th-century door located beneath the chimney stack. The right end wall is mid-19th century and includes a three-bay verandah. The eaves have a fascia band, and the left gable end displays a cusped bargeboard and 17th-century brickwork. The late 17th-century wing consists of two ground floor rooms, each with corner fireplaces and a common stack.
