Description
Walnut Tree Inn Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was once a coaching inn, dating from the early 17th century with later alterations. It is likely that the building was originally timber framed, but it is now constructed of red brick featuring a brick dentil eaves cornice. The right side of the building showcases early 18th century brickwork with dark headers and a band at the first floor level, while the left side displays late 18th century to early 19th century brickwork, with the original lobby entrance bay set slightly forward. The farmhouse has a plaintiled roof and consists of two storeys and an attic in a three-cell form.
There are four windows, which are two-light and three-light mullion and transom casements set under segmental arches. To the right, there is a notable mid 18th century doorcase with slightly engaged fluted columns, a panel for a rectangular fanlight, and a modillion-corniced hood, with a mid 20th century door. In the position of the former lobby entrance, there is now a mid 20th century window. The building features an internal stack and a later external stack on the right-hand gable end. Inside, the parlour and the room above have ovolo-moulded floor beams, with some exposed joisting. The 18th century serving hatch from the inn remains intact, complete with the original doors. A fire in the early 20th century damaged the roof over the right-hand end of the house.
