Old Nursery Farmhouse

Old Nursery Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the 17th and early 18th centuries. The front facade is of red brick with black headers, with brick gables, while the rear section at the west is of flint with brick dressings. The roof is covered in red pantiles. The house is two storeys and seven bays. The western half of the building is from the 17th century and was refaced with brick and extended by four bays around 1714. There are six ground-floor cross casement windows, each within a flat, rubbed brick arch. Six similar casement windows are on the first floor, with lintels level with the eaves; the central window is blank. A central six-panel door sits beneath a flat brick arch. The building has a ground-floor plinth, a first-floor platband, and moulded brick eaves. The east gable is of the same construction, featuring a plinth, attic platband, tumbled gable and an end stack. The west gable is of flint with brick dressings, with a parapet added during the 1714 refacing and re-roofing. The rear of the west end has blocked brick windows, dressed with wooden framed single mullions visible internally. The earlier part of the house has ground-floor spine beams and a bressumer beam with run-out stops. To the east of the central stack there is a single-flight staircase dating to around 1714. The doors are from around 1714 and are two-panelled with L hinges. The roof is steeply pitched and has an off-centre stack and two end stacks.
