Description
Church Farm House is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, which has been altered, raised, and extended in the 20th century. It features a timber frame on a brick base, with the frame exposed and rendered infill. The roof is half hipped and thatched. The house consists of four bays: a two-bay hall in the center, which may have been open originally, a parlour bay to the right, and a service bay to the left. It has one storey and attics, with the entrance located in a screens passage position.
To the left, there is a small original three-light casement window with ovolo moulded mullions and jambs, featuring leaded lights. Further left is a 20th-century three-light casement window, along with a two-light dormer. The service bay contains a single-light casement and a three-light dormer. The exposed panel framing and joist ends are visible in the parlour bay, with tension braces at the ends and a wall plate at the raised eaves.
An addition to the left includes a 20th-century entrance and a canted oriel window. There is an axial ridge stack in the parlour and a stack behind the ridge at the original left end, which has an external brick oven that projects to the rear and is thatched. The right gable end facing the road is roughcast and features 20th-century two and three-light casements. At the rear, there are three and four-light casements, three two-light dormers, and a ground floor loggia on the 20th-century addition.
