Description
This is a 17th-century farmhouse with later additions and a cottage attached, situated in Burgh Parva. Around 1700 and again around 1820, the building was altered. The farmhouse is constructed primarily of flint with brick dressings, with the cottage having a later red brick facade, and the front of the c.1820 addition being stock brick.
The original, mid-17th-century farmhouse is of two storeys with attics, and was originally four bays wide. It features ground-floor and first-floor sash windows with glazing bars. A centrally positioned door has a glazed upper section with two small panes of glass and is flanked by Greek Doric pilasters and an entablature, dating to around 1820. Brick dressings are present around the windows, and there's an extra course of brick at the eaves, finished with a dentil cornice. The north side of the original farmhouse appears to be built of rubble flint with brick lozenges at the first-floor level, while the south side is of coursed pebble flint. The steeply pitched roof has three dormers, each with casement windows and glazing bars. Brick stacks are located off-centre and at the north end.
A single-pile addition, dating to around 1820, extends to the north and is five bays wide, spanning two storeys. This section has end pilasters and a platband, with the centre bay broken forward. It has a single stack which is off-centre.
Attached to the rear is a two-storey cottage with an outshut at the rear. The ground floor of the cottage has a wooden casement cross window, and two boarded doors. The first floor has a platband, a single casement at platband level, three eaves-level windows (one boarded, one two-light casement with leaded panes, and one two-light with wooden glazing bars). The cottage has a steeply pitched roof with a crow-stepped gable at the east end.
