Description

Farmhouse. Likely dating to the 1830s, the farmhouse is constructed with a plaster-clad clay lump exterior on a brick plinth, topped with a steeply pitched pantile roof. The roof features gable ends with bargeboards to the deep verges. Brick axial stacks are symmetrically placed. The building is arranged on a T-shaped plan, comprising a two-room front range with a central lobby entrance leading to a straight staircase positioned between two central axial stacks. A rear service wing contains a kitchen, dairy, and a single-storey outshut in the rear southwest angle. An outhouse range stands detached immediately behind, to the south, of the rear wing.

The north front is symmetrical, with two windows. It features three-light wooden mullion windows with diamond-pattern leaded panes, and a central iron-frame casement. A central gabled porch has a plank door and a monogram above. Similar windows are found in the gable end and rear wing. A single-storey outshut with a lean-to pantile roof is situated on the west side of the rear wing.

The interior retains a remarkable degree of original features and joinery, including panelled and plank doors, chimneypieces with iron grates, a balustrade on the staircase, a brick kitchen fireplace with ovens and a side boiler, brick arcaded shelves in the dairy, and wide elm floorboards in the attic chamber.

The detached outhouse range has plastered walls on a brick plinth, a gable-ended pantile roof, a louvred ventilator in a weatherboarded gable end, and plank doors.


Farmhouse. Likely dating to the 17th century, the timber-frame is plastered with a brick base. A steeply pitched pantile roof has gabled ends. The building is two storeys and an attic, with two widely-spaced windows and three-light casements. A central gabled porch is present, with two central brick chimney stacks. Attic windows are in the gable ends.
