Description
Botany Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a pantiled roof. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window range. It includes two-light casements and paired boarded shutters on two of the ground floor windows. Originally, the entrance was a lobby type, but the doorway has been relocated to the right-hand side and now features a mid-20th century door. The farmhouse also has an internal stack.
