Description
Nut Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 16th century, with a 17th-century chimney stack and a late 17th or 18th-century outshut, as well as a 20th-century wing. The building is timber framed with brick infill and features a 20th-century plain tile roof, which was probably originally thatched. It stands two to three storeys high.
On the road front, there is a gabled wing to the left of center that is three storeys tall, featuring a 2-light window on the ground floor, a 3-light window on the first floor, and a single-light 20th-century window in the gable. To the right of this wing is a 3-light ground floor window dating from the 19th century. To the left, there is a lean-to with a 2-light window on the left and a single-light window on the right. A central ridge chimney stack is present. The right gable end has a sash window with 4x4 panes, while the left side features a catslide roof with an outshut that includes a 2-light casement window on the left.
At the rear, slightly to the left of center, is a projecting 20th-century gabled wing with an overhang on the first floor, supported by square corner timbers. This wing has a central ground-floor doorway with lateral lights and a 20th-century plate glass window on the first floor. To the left of this wing is a 3-light 19th-century casement window on the ground floor, and to the right, there is a similar ground-floor window with a matching first-floor window and a 2-light window in the attic.
Inside, the two ground floor rooms feature central longitudinal ceiling beams with chamfering that die into the chimney breast, and chamfered wall plates that project to the outer edges of the ceiling. The lean-to displays vertical and horizontal beams with brick infill. One first-floor room has jowled corner posts and chamfered ceiling beams, while the attic shows massive wind bracing to the purlins.
