Oaks Farmhouse

Oaks Farmhouse is a house that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with some parts refaced in the 18th century. It features a combination of timber-frame and brick construction, topped with a pantile roof. The original layout consists of a 16th-century two-cell plan, which was later adapted into a three-cell lobby entrance type plan in the 17th century, creating an L-shaped structure.

The south facade has three bays and is two storeys high. The ground floor is made of 18th-century brick and includes two 20th-century casements and a 20th-century plank door. The first floor has three 20th-century casements set in a rendered wall. The west gable return is constructed of 16th-century brick and features a parapet gable with a brick kneeler and a gable end stack. The west gable wall is notable for its polygonal angle turrets and has two blocked lights on the first floor with chamfered reveals and remnants of render designed to mimic ashlar, along with moulded brick pediments. There is a small inset panel at the base of the stack.

Projecting south from the east end of the main range is an additional two-storey section. The west face of this range has 18th-century brick on the ground floor and a rendered upper floor, with one 20th-century casement on each floor. The gable end wall contains a 20th-century casement in original openings on the ground, first, and attic floors, and features a 20th-century barge board. An axial stack is present, and there is a stair outshut, likely from the 19th century, on the rear wall of this range.

Inside, the 16th-century wing has exposed timber framing and a brick stair beside the stack. The west gable on the first floor has two blocked windows, each featuring two four-centred arch lights made of moulded brick. The north wall includes a diamond mullion. In the 17th-century wing, the ground floor room has an ovolo moulded spine beam with a bar stop, and there are two service rooms with stud walling and doorways, one of which has a cellar beneath. Both the 16th and 17th-century wings have butt-purlin roofs with arched braces.
