Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a house that was originally a hall house, built around 1500 and altered in the 17th century, with additions from the 18th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, rendered wattle and daub infill, and has a pantiled roof. The building features a brick plinth and stands two storeys high with an attic.

The entrance is located to the left of the centre, featuring an early 19th-century doorcase under a segmental hood, which leads to the original screens passage. To the right, there is a jettied hall with a full-height gabled cross wing. The ground floor has two early 19th-century tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has four timber cross casements with leaded lights. The jettied section has a moulded coved jetty and a coved eaves cornice beneath the gabled roof. There is an 18th-century casement window in the gable of the cross wing.

To the left of the door, there is one sash window with glazing bars, and two additional sash windows were added to the first floor when the service end was altered in the 18th century. The west gable wall is made of brick, featuring 18th-century sash windows and a 20th-century dormer in a hipped roof. The building has two 17th-century ridge stacks and a 20th-century brick east gable with a single-storey gabled extension. The roof slope at the rear extends down to cover the 18th-century additions under a catslide roof, which encloses the projection of the cross gable.

The first floor of the cross wing has exposed studding, with the gable head filled with brick and pierced by a five-light diamond mullioned window. An 18th-century weatherboarded and gabled extension abuts the cross wing to the left at the first floor, above a hipped 20th-century extension. The service end has 20th-century fenestration.

Inside, a 19th-century staircase has been inserted into the screens passage. The timber framing features heavy scantling with middle rails. There is a four-centred arched service door leading into the hall, which has a reused 17th-century bridging beam. Most of the roofing was replaced in the 18th century; originally, there was a crown post over the hall, with a crown purlin and one arched brace surviving in the east. The west half has clasped purlins to collars above and butt purlins below. The cross wing retains a single crown post with arched braces to the purlin only.
