Description
Turkey Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It consists of two main sections built in the 17th and 18th centuries, with later additions and alterations. The structure is timber-framed and covered in painted brick laid in Flemish bond, while the later section is timber-framed and clad in weatherboarding. The roofs are made of plain tiles, with pantiles used for the low addition on the right.
The single-storey and attic lobby-entry range has a later two-storey range at the rear, forming an L-shape. The single-storey and attic section features three bays and a low later addition to the right. There is an off-centre plank door, a 19th-century casement window to the right, and two 20th-century casements to the left. It also has three gabled dormers with casements and a steeply-pitched roof. The rear side shows an exposed ground sill on a brick plinth with weatherboarding to the right.
The two-storey range has a brick plinth and a door located at the rear in the angle between the two ranges. It includes casement windows and an external stack at the end. On the road front, there is a six-pane sash window on the ground floor, along with one small casement and another six-pane sash above.
Inside the single-storey and attic range, there are stop-chamfered spine and cross beams with exposed tenoned-in joists in part. The fireplace is made of narrow red brick with arched recesses on either side. On the first floor, a cambered tie beam and wall plates are visible, with no posts present. There is a large stepped stack. In the two-storey range, there is an 18th-century pine corner cupboard with flanking pilasters and a keyed round arch. The upper and lower doors of the cupboard feature raised and fielded panelling and HL hinges. On the first floor, chamfered posts and wall plates are visible.
