Description
Turnpike Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600 that was encased in 1912. It features stretcher bond red brick over a timber frame, with a gabled glazed pantile roof, a brick ridge, and a right-end stack. The building has a three-unit baffle-entry plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. There is a gauged flat brick arch over a half-glazed door that leads to an open-fronted porch, along with 20th-century three-light casement windows. The panels bear the inscription "JCC 1912". The gable ends display mock timbering with rendered panels, and there are four similar windows at the rear.
Inside, the exposed timber frame from around 1600 includes studwork, tension bracing, and wattle and daub infill. The ground floor has stop-chamfered beams and a 17th-century brick stack with a chamfered bressumer over a blocked fireplace. The first floor is divided into six bays by chamfered and jowled wall posts supporting a stop-chamfered tie butt-purlin roof. This roof was mostly rebuilt around 1912 but retains the original principal rafters and queen posts in the left bay.
