Description

Street Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It features a rendered timber frame and a glazed black pantile roof. The building has a two-cell lobby entrance type plan, with a lower two-storey, single bay range to the left. The facade consists of three bays and is two storeys high. It includes 18th-century casements and a 19th-century gabled porch at the centre, flanked by casements. There are two casements on the first floor. A central axial stack has been rebuilt since the initial listing. The left range has a casement and a plank door, along with three lights remaining from a four-light ovolo moulded mullioned window on the first floor. Inside, the timber frame is intact, featuring arched braces between the corner posts and wall plates, butt-purlins, and an upper row of clasp-purlins with arched wind braces. The left range also retains its timber frame, with a sliding shutter to the upstairs mullion. The roof dates from the 18th century.
