Carr Farm

Carr Farm is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later alterations and extensions. It features a timber frame with 20th-century brick facing at the front and colourwashed render at the rear, covering a full-length clay-lump extension. The roof is made of pantiles, mostly black glazed, with a catslide at the rear over the extension. A central brick ridge stack from the 17th century has six linked octagonal shafts, which were likely truncated when a later top was added. There is also an additional later stack on the rear roof slope.

The house has a two-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high, with a three-window range of three-light casements. A central gabled porch leads to the door. The rear features two-light casements, a canted bay, and doors, along with a single-storey projecting extension.

Inside, some close-studded framing is visible, with jowled posts and tension braces, as well as chamfered bridging beams. There are back-to-back brick open fireplaces with basket arches and a deep cupboard behind the fireplaces. A set of 18th-century open shelves with a shell head is present, along with a blocked four-light wooden mullion window in the right-hand room. The interior also includes two-, four-, and six-panel doors, a winder stair, and bolection-moulded fireplaces on the first floor. An early 17th-century panelled door with cocks-head hinges leads to a cupboard into the stack on the attic stair. The roof features curved wind braces to the butt-purlins. Despite its 20th-century front, Carr Farm retains much of its early 17th-century original construction intact.
