Description
College Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, now divided into two dwellings, dating from around 1550 to 1570. The building has two storeys and features a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan. It is constructed of timber framing with plaster and has a Roman pantiled roof, which was once thatched. There is an axial chimney made of red brick that dates from the 16th or 17th century.
The farmhouse has mid-20th century small-pane casements and glazed panelled entrance doors. It is a well-preserved example of its type, with all three cells featuring unusually roll-moulded first-floor joists. In the hall and parlour, there are also double-ogee moulded bridging joists. The building includes a pair of service room doorways, one of which retains its four-centred arched head, while the parlour doorway is similar. The parlour chamber has an open truss with an arch-braced collar beam instead of the usual tie-beam. The structure showcases close-studding with tension stud-bracing and has a good wind-braced clasped purlin roof. The hall features a wide open fireplace with a cambered lintel.
