Description
Cedar Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse constructed of red Flemish bond brick with a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys high and features a near-symmetrical entrance front with three bays. The building has a projecting plinth that dies back at an offset. The central doorway is framed by a moulded wooden surround and has a 19th-century plank door. Flanking the doorway on the ground floor are three-light casement windows with chamfered heads. A projecting band made of three bricks separates the floors. On the first floor, there are two lateral three-light casement windows, and a blank window is located in the centre above the doorway. The hipped roof is topped with a central renewed axial chimney stack that has three flues.
On the right side of the farmhouse, there is a slightly cambered head above a three-light ground floor casement window, with a blocked first floor window above it. The left side features two shoring buttresses flanking a blocked ground floor window and a blocked first floor window. At the rear, there is a projecting gabled wing on the right with a pigeon loft on the first floor, and to the left of this wing is a 20th-century outshut.
