Description
Dairy Farmhouse is a 16th and 17th century timber-framed and plastered building with a tiled roof, located on Semer Dairy Road. The house consists of two blocks: an older 16th century block to the south and a later 17th century block to the north. It has been restored and renovated, with most of the timber-framing now exposed. The northern block features a modern red brick facing on the ground storey and has two storeys with casement windows. Several original window openings have been restored with moulded mullions. The south block includes a ridge chimney stack that has been rebuilt on an old base, while the north block also has a rebuilt ridge chimney stack.
