Description
Owl's Farmhouse is a timber-framed and plastered building that dates back to the 16th century, although it has undergone significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The upper storey features a jettied design that has been underbuilt. In 1900, a brick wing was added at the rear, positioned at a right angle to the main block. The house stands two storeys high, with two windows on the front, one window on the gable end, and three windows on the rear wing. All windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars. A gabled porch extends from the front, and the main block is topped with a square chimney stack at the ridge.
