Description
Church Farmhouse is a late 17th-century house, possibly with an earlier structure at its core, incorporating some details from the late 18th century. It is timber-framed and originally had red brick casing. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles. The house is two storeys high with attics, arranged on a square plan, with two rooms on each side. The front elevation has three sash windows, the central one being blank. A late 18th-century six-panel door is set within a 20th-century pedimented doorcase, flanked by canted sash windows with coved wooden cornices. A large coved wooden cornice runs around the entire building. A plinth and floor band are also visible. The left return elevation features two flush sashes on the upper floor, while the ground floor has a late 17th-century three-light mullioned casement window. A gabled attic dormer is present. The rear elevation is plastered. The roof consists of two spans. A 17th-century casement window is located on the lower right side. A large ridge chimney stack, constructed of four joined shafts, is prominent. Inside, there is a good late 17th-century newel staircase leading to the attic, with restored balusters. Large inglenooks are found on the ground floor, and late 17th-century fireplaces are on the upper floor. Several late 17th-century doors are also present.
