Description
Valley Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th to 17th century. It was modernised around 1900 and underwent extensive renovation between 1978 and 1980. The building is timber-framed on a plinth and rendered, with brick stacks and a plain tile roof. It features a lobby-entry plan and has a 4 1/2-bay frame, standing two storeys high with an attic. A 20th-century central gabled porch and 20th-century casement windows are present, along with a swept roof and a gabled dormer with a casement window above the porch. The centre ridge stack is complemented by external stacks at the gable ends, which were rebuilt around 1948. There is also a 20th-century addition under a pent roof to the left.
Inside, the frame and roof structure are mostly concealed by plasterboard cladding. The ground floor features a chamfered spine beam that is tenoned into a cross beam, with exposed joists and a restored open studded partition. On the first floor, one jowled chamfered post is exposed along with a chamfered cambered tie beam. The half bay contains a stack, and the left bay is said to have been formerly jettied and contained a separate staircase.
