Description
Church Farm House is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It is constructed with a timber frame that is rendered, while the right gable end is faced in colourwashed brick. The building has a pantiled roof and consists of two storeys in a single long range. The house features various casement windows from the 19th and mid-20th centuries, with the latter being small-paned.
There is a late 19th-century one-storey porch made of white brick, which includes a plank door with moulded cover strips and a narrow oblong overlight with decorative glazing. To the right of the porch is another doorway that has an architrave with engaged colonnettes and a plank door. Inside, there is an internal stack with a 19th-century red brick axial shaft, while the gable stack to the right has a 20th-century common brick shaft. The interior has not been examined.
