Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with a 19th-century cross wing added to the east. The building is constructed of brick and features gabled roofs covered with black glazed pantiles. It stands two storeys high with a dormer attic in the main range. To the left of the centre, there is a gabled porch that includes bargeboards. The farmhouse has various rendered brick cross casement windows with hoods on labels, all dating from the late 19th century, located on both floors. There are three gabled dormers with casements and bargeboards, and tumbling in the gable heads. The structure includes a west internal gable stack and a ridge stack positioned to the right of centre.
