Description
Dairy Farmhouse is a house from the late 17th century, constructed of brick and flint with brick dressings and a pantile roof. It features three main sections and a chimney bay, standing two storeys with an attic that has been raised from one and a half storeys. There is a single-storey extension to the right. The centre and right sections have graduated courses of flint with brick eaves, while the left and chimney bay are made of brick, with older bricks on the ground floor and coloured headers above that are not bonded into the gable wall.
The house has late 19th-century three-light casement windows with rendered surrounds, and a two-light window on the ground floor of the right bay set in an older surround. A single-storey brick gabled porch with pantiles features an off-centre door from the 19th century, which has a four-centred chamfered brick arch under a hood mould. The entrance includes a six-panelled door beneath a four-centred arch and a fanlight. The axial stack has five linked hexagonal shafts with oversailing caps.
On the left gable, there is brick over a flint base, a blocked ground floor window, a three-light window on the first floor, and a two-light attic window. The right gable is weatherboarded. The single-storey extension to the east is built in English bond over a flint plinth with a pantile roof, and the internal end stack has been rebuilt with a 20th-century steel-framed casement. There are several extensions at the rear, including a two-storey polygonal wing for the dairy made of brick with a hipped pantile roof, and outshuts to the central and left bays in brick with coloured headers. Inside, the staircase is located behind the door and rises between the fireplaces in the left and central bays.
