Leatherjacket Farmhouse

Leatherjacket Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the late 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 17th centuries, and features a date of 1622 on a dormer window. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with some decorative pargetting in panels. It has a plain tile roof and red brick stacks. Originally probably consisting of two bays, it has been extended to a three-bay lobby-entry, with the left bay being an addition. The house has one storey and an attic.

On the garden front, there are two half-glazed doors, two 20th-century casement windows, and a small window to the left. The front features three gabled dormers with casements and bargeboards, along with a ridge stack and a later stack to the left. The roof is steeply pitched with bargeboards on the gables. The road front includes the dormer window dated 1622.

Inside, the farmhouse has studded walls on a plinth, chamfered beams, and exposed joists in the inserted ceiling of the center and right end rooms. The bridging beam has run-out stops, and the joists in the center room have step stops. There is a partly rebuilt inglenook for the inserted stack, with a chamfered bressummer in the center room. The right room features a chamfered basket-arched rendered fireplace. A newel stair is positioned against the stack. There is a jowled post and a truncated tie beam next to the stack. The first-floor studded partition wall between the center and left rooms has a cambered tie beam and a blocked arched panel that may have been a former window. The right room also has a chamfered basket-arched fireplace and a chamfered beam with tongue stops.
