Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1882, as indicated by two datestones on the front gables. It is constructed of red brick with a roof made of black pantiles and stands two storeys tall. The facade is symmetrical, featuring two gables that face forward with a short link between them. There is a three-window range consisting of two-light and three-light casements, which have heavy mullions and transoms, along with metal glazing bars arranged in a geometric pattern and flat brick arches above.
A single-storey gabled porch with a plain tiled roof has a recessed entrance beneath a three-centre arch, leading to a four-panel door. The main gables and the porch are adorned with richly ornamented scalloped bargeboarding, complete with spike finials above and below the apex. The building has two stacks, each with three grouped flues topped with oversailing brick caps. At the rear, there is a single-storey former dairy wing. This farmhouse is included as a fine example of the local architectural style of the Barne estate.
