Description
Oak Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, possibly with an earlier core, and encased in the 19th or 20th century. It features a timber frame with brick and rendered casing, topped with a pantile roof and brick chimneys. The house has a three-unit, lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic. The front has a four-window range of 20th-century casements, with a 20th-century brick porch to the right of centre and a square-fronted bay window to the left. There are three dormers, with the left one having a hipped roof. A large red brick chimney to the right of centre has eight pointed shafts arranged in a cuneiform plan, while there is a 17th or 18th-century end stack to the left. The left gable end features two Gothic porches made of yellow stock brick with ogee-headed arches, one of which is a bay window. Inside, the house has three bays, each with double floor beams, a blocked inglenook fireplace, and the remains of a newel stair behind the stack in the attic. There are also 19th-century extensions at the rear.
