Ringers Farm

Ringers Farm is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has undergone alterations and extensions in the 19th, 20th, and early 21st centuries.

The building is made of coursed flint and brick laid in Flemish bond, topped with a pantile roof. It has a rectangular shape and faces south, with narrower rectangular extensions on the east and west sides. The farmhouse is two-and-a-half storeys tall and consists of three bays. Its pitched roof features two end stacks and Dutch-gable ends with contrasting stone copings and two course platbands, each with a pair of windows above. The front elevation is entirely brick over a flint plinth and includes a dentil cornice. The central door is accompanied by 20th-century French windows and a blind window above, flanked by two-over-two light, vertical sliding sash windows, all with skewback arches. The rear elevation is made of flint and has a two-bay outshot beneath a catslide roof. The 19th-century extensions were expanded in the early 21st century to create one-and-a-half storey additions.

Inside, there is a chamfered transverse bridging beam and a centrally located spine beam in the outshot. The roof features tie beams, a collar, butt purlins, and a ridge piece. The outshot retains timber cross-frames and contains the stairs leading to the attic, as well as a dairy on the ground floor. At the west gable-end of the ground floor, there is a large inglenook fireplace with an in situ bresummer, while the first floor has a smaller 19th-century fireplace with a timber surround. Throughout the farmhouse, there are four panelled and timber battened doors, along with two blocked original window openings at the rear, which have very shallow arched heads.
