Description
Walnut Tree Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made around 1700 and in the mid 19th century. It features a timber framed interior and a brick facade with gault brick dressings, topped by a slate roof. The building has two storeys and a dormer attic, with two doors and three ground floor windows that are set under segmental arches. The first floor has five casement windows of varying sizes, all of which are 20th-century replacements. There are three flat-topped 20th-century dormers in the hipped roof, and a ridge stack located to the right of centre. The rear of the house includes a full-height gabled stair turret from around 1700, which has one 20th-century casement window. To the right, there are pantiled outshuts. Inside, the timber framing is unremarkable, but the south ground floor room features a filleted bridging beam with sunk quadrant mouldings that are interrupted by raised convex studs. The joists in this room are roll moulded with tongue stops.
