Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed farmhouse dating from the late 15th century, with alterations made in the early 18th century. It is timber framed, featuring plastered wattle and daub infill and pantiled roofs. The building has a T plan, with the stem originally serving as a first-floor hall from the 15th century, while the cross wing to the north was altered in the 18th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with an east front that has a central door and a 4-light 18th-century timber cross casement to the left. The plaster features rectangular pargetting, and there is a jettied first floor supported by a rod-moulded bressummer. The first floor also has two 16th-century casements. The roof is gabled.

The north cross wing includes 18th-century casements on the south side, 20th-century casements on the north side, and a stepped 16th-century external stack. This wing also has a gabled roof. An early 18th-century southern extension served as a blacksmith's shop, featuring diamond-stopped bridging beams and a fireplace that incorporates the original hall stack. The roof here is gabled and covered with black glazed pantiles.

To the west of the original range, there are two gabled cross wings; the southern one is 18th-century with a stepped external stack, while the northern cross wing is original and has two 18th-century casements. Inside, the lounge boasts a fine bridging beam with five rolls, a lower fillet, and tongue stops. The joists are similar, featuring rolled side chamfers. The close studding of the frame is partly exposed but complete. The roof is excellent, supported by four crown posts of square section with four arched braces carried on square jowled fillets. The crown purlin and collars are intact, with the former featuring a face-halved scarf joint.
