Description

Camfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century or earlier. The right half of the building is constructed from timber framing, while the left extension was added in the late 19th century. The entire front of the farmhouse is covered in roughcast. It features a plain tile hipped roof, which is taller at the left end. There are six flush 8/8-pane sash windows, likely installed during an early 19th-century renovation. The entrance has a flush panel door located at the right center, and there is one boxed attic dormer situated above the door.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
