Description
Nelson Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It features a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan and stands two storeys tall. The building is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a plaintiled roof that has an internal chimney made of red brick and bargeboards with carved soffits. The farmhouse has three-light 19th-century casement windows, each topped with triple blind Gothick arched heads. An early 19th-century one-storey entrance porch is located at the left gable end, which includes an arch-headed panelled door. Originally, the house was only one storey with attics, but the walls were raised and the roof rebuilt in the 19th century. There is also a formerly separate dairy and bakehouse range with attics that projects towards the road from the service end, featuring an end chimney made of red brick.
