Description

Grove Farm House is a farmhouse that dates from the early 18th century and has been altered later. It is constructed of roughcast clay lump and plastered brick, topped with a thatched roof. The building is one storey high with a dormer attic. There is a 20th-century entrance porch on the left side. The ground floor features various 19th-century casements with glazing bars. The roof has four pantiled gabled dormers that enclose some renewed casements. It has a gabled roof with central and gable end stacks, the northern stack being external. A 19th-century lean-to structure adjoins the north wall. At the rear, there is a brick cross wing from the late 18th century, which is two storeys tall and has a thatched gabled roof. The ground floor has renewed casements with segmental heads. To the left, there is a flint entrance tower with brick quoins and a hipped roof above an eaves cornice that features modillions and moulded brick. The entrance has an ovolo pediment, and the rear facade has various casements and two dormers similar to those at the front.
