Description

Oakleys Farmhouse is a timber-frame building with a front range dating to the 17th century and a later 17th-century brick rear wing. A 19th-century brick front was added, and a northeast kitchen extension was built in the 1980s. The front is timber-framed on brick sills, with roughcast plastering, while the rear wing features red brick in an irregular bond. The house has steep red tile roofs. It is T-shaped and situated at the rear of a farmyard, facing south on rising ground.

The front range is two storeys and three windows wide, with a central entrance. It has flush, leaded casement windows, with five lights to the left of a door featuring five panels, the upper three fielded and the lower two flush-leaded. A staircase projects beside the southwest corner chimney stack. The two-storey rear wing was originally built into a slope, with access at the first-floor level and a cellar below, now excavated. The rear wing has a plat-band and a tumbled brick gable parapet, with two windows on the north side to each floor, and a single window higher in the gable.
