Description
Oak Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It features a timber frame with rendered wattle and daub infill and has pantiled roofs. The building has a lobby entrance plan and is two storeys tall with an attic. There is a central door flanked by two 20th-century windows on each floor. Above the door, there is a three-light ovolo window. The roof is bell-based and gabled, with a ridge stack. At the rear, there is a three-light diamond mullioned window, while the rest of the windows are 1980s casements. To the north, there is a one-storey farm building that has been converted into a kitchen. The timber framing is close studded with heavy scantling. Inside, there are sunk quadrant bridging beams in both downstairs rooms, and the roof structure includes tie beams with clasped purlins, collars, and curved windbracing, along with tension bracing at the corners.
