Description

North Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries and consists of three builds. The structure features brick that has been colourwashed, with brick-encased timber framing and a pantile roof. The 17th-century section to the left has two bays and is two storeys high, while the 16th-century range to the right is one storey with an attic. There is a 19th-century forward wing that is also two storeys, extending from both builds. The left end has a chimney bay and stack, and there is an internal stack at the left end of the right range.

The left two-bay build is colourwashed and has a platband at the front and rear, with the lower walls featuring alternate courses of headers on edge. The south facade has renewed openings with casements, and the central doorway has been blocked. The left return shows some brick tumbling in, with two small blocked openings on the ground and first floors. The rear includes a 1½ storey porch on the left with brick tumbling-in at the gable, a semi-circular arch, and oval openings on the left and right returns, along with a platband.

Inside, there is a large gable end fireplace on the ground floor, with the stack enclosed to the first floor and a 17th-century stack in the attic. The ground floor left bay has been raised. The roof features two tiers of staggered purlins, some of which have been renewed. The 16th-century single storey and attic range to the right is timber framed with a brick casing and pantiles. It has two 20th-century gabled dormers on the left and various renewed openings, including two casements and two doorways. There is a large internal stack and chimney bay to the left. The interior includes wall plates and studs to the south and studs in the partition walls. The roof is a four-bay structure without purlins, with partitions featuring queen posts and wattle and daub infill, and parts of the roof have been renewed. The forward bay spans both builds, has a gable to the front, and is made of clay lump encased by brick with pantiles, standing at 1½ storeys high and featuring a roof with collars.
