Bodney Hall Farmhouse

Bodney Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a core dating back to the 16th century, which was extended in the 18th century. An additional section was added around 1840, along with service extensions from the 19th century. The original timber frame has mostly been replaced with brick, while the extensions and service wing are constructed from flint with brick dressings. The front block is rendered and features slate roofs. The original block has been lengthened to the south, with a new section added to the west and a service wing to the east.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall, with the front block consisting of three bays of sash windows that include glazing bars. There is a central flat-roofed open porch supported by a pair of Roman Doric columns, leading to a part-glazed panelled front door beneath a semicircular fanlight. The roof is hipped. The rear block has a facade of brick with irregularly placed fenestration, including three sash windows with glazing bars beneath segmental arches and a panelled door on the ground floor. Above, there are gabled half dormers with casements and two narrow sash windows with glazing bars. A terracotta quatrefoil with a heart design is set beneath a kneeler corbel on the northeast gable parapet. The north gable end is made of brick with close tumbling-in, while the south gable end features similar tumbling-in into the flint fabric. Both gable ends have stacks.

Inside, the front block showcases elaborate moulded architraves with corner paterae and a heavily moulded staircase with turned balusters. The rear block retains 16th-century roll and cavetto moulded principal beams on the ground floor, along with a fine queen post roof structure visible in the later roof space. There is evidence of surviving parts of the timber frame, although these are mostly obscured by plaster.
