Pear Tree Farmhouse

Pear Tree Farmhouse is a house dating to the late 16th century, with additions from the 18th and 20th centuries. The house is timber-framed and has colourwashed render, a pantile roof (originally thatched), and two storeys with an attic. It follows a three-cell baffle-entry plan.

The front of the house largely features 19th and 20th-century windows, except for one original window. A central doorway sits on a line with the original screen passage. The ground floor has three 3-light casements, and the first floor has a 20th-century leaded window above a 16th-century window with diamond-section mullions. A chimney stack, rebuilt in 19th-century brick and containing three flues, rises from the ridge. The left-hand gable end is blank at ground floor level and has two single-light casements on the first floor, with a jettied gable above. The right-hand side has two 2-light ground floor casements, with blank walling above and a jettied gable displaying the date 1581 in 20th-century lettering. An angled 18th-century range, originally detached but now connected by a 20th-century range, is located on the right. This connecting range has a door and a 2-light window. The 18th-century range has a brick plinth, rendered upper walls, three 20th-century 2-light ground floor casements, and two 20th-century gabled dormers to the attic.

A projecting gabled wing is located on the left rear, containing a lean-to clapboarded outshut and an attic casement. A plank door and casement are on the right flank of this wing, with a gabled dormer window above. To the right is a 20th-century corridor range. The 16th-century range on the right has a doorway and a plank door which opens onto a baffle-entry formed of four wide, overlapped planks with nailheads. A 3-light casement and French windows are on the ground floor, while a 2-light casement is slightly raised to the left of the door. A 19th-century casement is on the first floor to the right, and a single-light casement is on the far left, between which is a 6-light 16th-century window with diamond-section mullions.

The interior features close-studded walling on the ground and first floors, with jowled wall posts on the first floor, chamfered ceiling beams and joists, and a screen passage whose moulded muntins and continuous moulded cross rail have been moved to one side. A winder staircase rises from the baffle-entry lobby.
