Description

Kiln Farm is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, which was extended to the north around 1700 and has since been converted into three properties before being restored to a single dwelling in 1967. The building features a timber frame with wattle and daub infill and a plain tiled roof.

The exterior is one storey with a dormer attic. The west elevation has a 20th-century plank door located to the right of the center, flanked by a two-light leaded casement window on either side, both added in 1967. There is a similar two-light casement on the north side. The exposed timber frame shows thin scanning with a straight brace from the corner stud to the wall plate at the north. Paired studs in the center of the elevation indicate the original extent of the house, while a projecting reused bridging beam is visible to the north. The roof features three gabled dormers, all fitted with casements in 1967, and there is a ridge stack located to the left of center.

The east elevation includes three leaded casements from 1967, with the northernmost being a two-light window and the others being single-light. An early 20th-century lean-to porch with a half-glazed door and slate roof is present. To the north of the porch, there is a reused jowled principal stud, the opposing end of the projecting reused bridging beam, and a blocked two-light diamond mullioned casement. The north gable end has one two-light casement, similar to those before, lighting the attic. The roof structure consists of collars and clasped purlins.

Inside, the ground floor north room features a brick chimney from around 1700, built against the former north external wall, which blocks one two-light diamond mullioned window. A reused bridging beam with tongue stops is located at the east end. The center room has been converted into an entrance hall, with an open oak staircase added in 1967. The south room retains a bridging beam, while the kitchen has been partitioned off to the southeast. The roof includes cut tie beams and collars.
