Description
Street Farmhouse is a timber-framed house that likely dates from the 17th century. The exterior is rendered, and it features a steep black glazed pantile roof, with the south end being slightly higher than the rest of the building. An off-centre brick chimney stack adds to its character. The house has one and two storeys, plus an attic, which includes an attic window in the south gable end. The windows are 19th-century casements with leaded panes, and there is a gabled dormer that also has a three-light casement with leaded panes. A modern porch is located on the left side of the house.
