Description
Dairy Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that is now empty. It mainly dates from the 18th century, with a 17th-century gable-end and some re-used masonry from the 12th century. The building is constructed of brick, galletted flint, and re-used ashlar, topped with a pantiled roof. The 17th-century house features a returned brick gable-end, which was likely connected to a timber frame that was later replaced with masonry and extended to the rear in the 18th century. There is a 20th-century side extension that is not of special interest.
The farmhouse has two storeys and three bays on its 18th-century facade, which includes 20th-century metal windows with brick dressings. The central front door is topped by a skewback arch with a cambered soffit. A sawtooth cornice decorates the top of the facade. The 17th-century gable-end is made of small bricks laid in English bond, featuring a stack and one surviving moulded gable corbel at the rear. The re-used 12th-century ashlar is likely from St. Mary's in Great Dunham and includes one piece of chevron in the outshut quoins and some sections of shafts on the main facade. There is a stack on the former eastern gable-end. Inside, there are some early 19th-century reeded fire surrounds and some re-used timbers in the roof.
