Description
Tenements Farmhouse is a substantial 15th-century hall house that was reduced and altered in the mid-17th century. It features a timber frame that is cased in painted brick and roughcast, topped with a plain tile roof that is half-hipped at the ends. The building has two storeys and a two-storeyed gabled porch at the center of the east side, creating a T plan. There are three casement windows. The porch includes a segmental-headed door arch flanked by blank oval panels, with a similar panel on the right return wall. A heavy plinth supports the structure. Inside the porch, offset to the right, is a large 15th-century moulded wood door frame with a three-centred head and chamfered spandrels. At the center of the ridge, there is a 17th-century red brick stack with three diagonal shafts, and on the north end elevation, a large 18th-century oven stack features three separate square shafts. The interior retains the structure of the open hall.
