Description
Drivers Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a pantiled roof. The building has a three-cell layout and stands two storeys tall with an attic. It has three windows, which are mid-20th century three-light casements, each with a single horizontal glazing bar. To the left of the façade is a plank entrance door. Inside, there is an internal stack with an original plain oblong shaft, and there is a 19th-century external stack on the left gable end, which has a cross-axial shaft. Additionally, there is a one-storey lean-to against the left gable end. The interior has not been examined.
