Description
Church Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and a facing added in 1871, as indicated by a datestone on the west gable end. The building features a timber frame that has been faced and partially replaced with brick, topped by a corrugated tile roof. It has a lobby entrance layout with an off-centre axial stack and stands two storeys high. The facade consists of three bays with 19th-century light casement windows that have double horizontal glazing bars. The ground floor windows are set beneath square hood moulds. At the rear, there is a catslide roof over a circa 19th-century outshut, covered with black glazed pantiles, featuring a raking dormer and a 19th-century casement window. Inside, there is evidence of the original through passage leading to the eastern end, along with remnants of a service partition. The interior also includes broach chamfer stops and long empty mortices for an arched head to the service doorway. The 17th-century western bay has nicked chamfer stops, and the roof structure, dating from the late 17th or 18th century, retains some original tie beams.
