Description
Tills Farmhouse is likely of 16th and 17th century origin, originally a timber-framed building that was later plastered and faced with gault brick on the front and sides. The roof is tiled and hipped at both the east and west ends. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window front, featuring double-hung sash windows with a single vertical glazing bar in each pane. Two porches project from the front, each with a six-panel door and an embattled parapet. A ridge chimney stack is present, incorporating the base of an older stack.
