Description
Church Farmhouse is a timber-framed and brick building with colourwashed render and a plain tiled roof, likely originally thatched. It dates to the 16th and 17th centuries, with 19th and 20th-century additions and alterations. The house has a baffle-entry, three-cell plan, seemingly incorporating earlier elements.
The front of the house has a projecting plinth and pebble-dashed finish. It features four bays, the right-hand one a two-storey porch wing, possibly from the 19th century. The porch has a 19th-century doorway with a half-glazed door, a moulded ashlar lintel with a projecting keystone and lateral rosettes. A stained-glass sash window sits above the door, also with a moulded lintel. The fenestration on this front is largely 19th-century, including four-light casements to the second floor and a three-light window to the far left. A lean-to of 19th or 20th-century date, with a pantile roof, is situated on the extreme left. Three 3-light casement windows are on the first floor. Ridge stacks are present to the right of the centre of the house, with four flues above the porch wing and a single stack to the left.
The left-hand gable end has a large outshut of the 19th and 20th centuries, featuring a two-light window, a glazed door, and a two-light window at mezzanine level. To the right of this gable is a two-light ground floor window, a two-light first floor window, and a two-light window to the gable itself. The rear of the house is largely obscured by an outshut with a catslide roof, with a 20th-century greenhouse to the left. A two-storey wing sits above the greenhouse.
The interior features massive, chamfered ceiling beams in a cross pattern with stepped run-out stops and heavy rafters, appearing to be of 16th-century date in one ground floor room. This room also exhibits jowled wall posts and close studding to the former rear wall, which contains a window with hollow-chamfered mullions now giving onto the 19th-century outshut. Further chamfered ceiling beams, jowled wall posts, and exposed close studding are found in other ground and first floor rooms. The baffle-entry plan includes a staircase leading up from the lobby with two quarter-turns.
