Description

Walnut Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with a 17th-century addition to the left (south). The building is timber framed and plastered, with the gable ends covered in brick, one of which is colourwashed. It has a pantiled roof and is 1½ storeys high. The windows are small-paned 2-light casements, and there is one raking dormer featuring a mid-20th-century standard window. The doorway leads into a cross-entry and has a boarded half-door with a 20th-century open-fronted gabled porch. There is an axial-shafted stack.

Inside, much of the structure is exposed, revealing earlier work in four bays with full-height studding and evidence of diamond-mullioned windows, one of which is intact, along with a rear cross-entry doorway. Some timbers have been reused. The hall and parlour feature plain ceiling joists set flat and open fireplaces. The roof has clasped purlins. The 2-bay 17th-century addition includes substantial ceiling joists and plain studding with straight braces.
