Description

Rumburgh Farmhouse is a farmhouse from the early 17th century, built in two closely-dated phases. It has a mix of one storey with attics and two storeys with attics. The structure is timber-framed and roughcast rendered, topped with clay pantiles. There are two internal chimney stacks; one features a plain red brick shaft, while the other, which connects the higher and lower sections of the house, has three attached diagonally-set shafts.

The farmhouse has a combination of two-light and three-light casement windows, the latter including transoms, as well as a three-light mullion-and-transom window in the south gable wall. There is one dormer with a sloping single-pitch roof and two doors located in boarded porches. Inside, the ground and first floor rooms at the south end display close-studding and ovolo-moulded main beams and cornice, with both beams and joists featuring lamb's tongue and jewel stops. The two central bays have mostly replacement timbers. At the north end, one room has chamfered beams with curved stops and jewels, followed by two bays of later framing and a renewed roof above. The central section of the farmhouse includes two rows of butt purlins.
