Walnut Tree Farm House

Walnut Tree Farm House is a house that has been converted into three dwellings. It dates back to the 16th century and was extended with a floor inserted and a stack added in the 17th century. Further alterations and extensions occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is plastered, with some red brick casing, and has a steeply pitched pantiled roof. Originally, it was likely a small two-bay open hall with a storeyed end bay, and a service bay was added to create a three-cell range.

The house is one storey with an attic and has four two-light 20th-century glazing bar casements, along with two 20th-century three-light gabled dormers. There is a rebuilt axial ridge stack at the left or upper end of the hall. The left end has a lean-to outshut with a round-headed window at the front and an attic sash in the gable end. The right gable end is cased in 19th-century brick and features a 17th-century external brick stack with offsets, as well as an arched recess behind the stack that has a restored four-light diamond mullioned window opening above a projecting bracketed and segmental-headed light.

At the rear, there is an architraved six-panelled door leading into the service bay, and a second architraved entrance to the far right that leads into the parlour bay, which has a boarded door. The first floor includes a restored five-light diamond mullioned window at the upper end of the hall and three three-light gabled dormers. Inside, the hall features close studding with full-height curved tension bracing, a chamfered cross axial binding beam, and a service end run-out chamfered binding beam. There is also a four-light diamond mullioned opening in the parlour, reverse curved bracing in the original end walls, collars clasping purlins, and some evidence of smoke blackening.
