Description

Ling Farm House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It has a timber frame that is plastered and refronted in white brick, topped with a steeply hipped plain tiled roof. The main range is a broad three-cell lobby entrance design, accompanied by a three-bay service wing, creating a large L shape in plan. The house has two storeys, with the entrance located to the right of centre, featuring a shallow early 19th-century flat-headed porch. The porch is part glazed and includes a raised six-panelled door, with an architrave that curves to a point at the top and outer fluted pilastered jambs, along with a large cambered brick arch behind the porch. The windows are 20-pane glazing bar sashes that are recessed, with the ground floor having gauged brick flat arched heads. There are two axial ridge stacks between each cell on the main range, with rebuilt shafts. The left return of the rear wing has a boarded door towards the front, which features a lugged hooded architrave, along with varied casements. There is an internal stack on the outer roof slope, and towards the rear, there is a door and an open ground floor bay. The ridge of the rear wing is slightly lower and has a gable at the back. At the rear, there are small outshuts with slate and pantile roofs. The interior has not been inspected.
