Description
Windridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in a T-plan during the early to mid-19th century and the 20th century. The early part of the building is timber-framed, with stuccoed brick walls and a plain tile hipped roof, rising to two storeys. The eastern block features a large external chimney stack on the north wall, which is late 17th century, with the upper part made of red brick and adorned with an ovolo cornice. On the south side of this range, there are two recessed 8/8 sash windows with segmental heads on the ground floor. To the left, there is a doorcase that includes a half-glazed reeded-panel door, panelled reveals, reeded pilasters, shaped brackets, a flat hood, and a scroll-patterned fan. The end elevation has a triple-hung sash window, and the building has wide bracketed eaves. The western block mostly features 20th-century casements and stacks.
