Description

Further Hall Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that is timber framed, rendered, and colourwashed, topped with a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys tall and has a four-cell baffle-entry plan.

The entrance front features a central two-storey gabled porch wing, with the first floor overhanging and supported by brackets. There are additional brackets and a carved bressumer under the overhanging gable. The ground floor has a glazed doorway from the 20th century and a two-light casement window above. To the right, there is a tripartite deep window with a central glazed doorway flanked by panes of the same size, and further to the right is a three-light casement. On the first floor, there is a three-light casement on the right and a two-light casement on the left.

To the left of the porch, there is a similar tripartite deep window with a door like that on the right, and to the left of this is a half-glazed doorway and a two-light casement. The first floor on this side has two two-light casements. The central ridge stack has three flues, while the right gable end is battered and features a two-light casement at first floor level. The left gable end has a 20th-century single-flue chimney stack with offsets and a two-light casement window at ground floor level.

At the rear, there is a glazed doorway on the left of centre, with a 20th-century wooden gabled porch in front of it. To the right of this doorway is a section of whitewashed brickwork, indicating the lowest level of the chimney breast, followed by a three-light casement and two two-light casements at the far right. To the left of the doorway are two two-light ground floor casements, and the first floor has three two-light casement windows.

Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered ceiling beams and exposed close studding on the external walls at ground floor level. The two ground floor rooms to the right of the porch have been combined into one by removing the uprights in the close studded dividing wall.
