Description

Street Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600, though it likely includes earlier elements. It has a three-span rear addition from the mid-20th century. The building is timber framed and has modern render, with a black pantiled roof featuring geometric patterns made of pink tiles. The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic and follows a three-cell layout.

There are three windows with various casements; on the ground floor, there are three-light mullion and transom casements that were added in the mid-20th century from another house. The entrance features a 19th-century six-panel door, which is damaged. Inside, there is an internal stack, and plain joisting is exposed in the hall. The rear wall of this room contains part of a 16th-century arched doorhead that is not in its original position. The bridging beam in the parlour is ovolo-moulded, and there are remains of two ovolo-moulded mullioned windows in the rear wall over the parlour end. In the front wall over the service end, there is an intact four-light window with cavetto mullions, as well as evidence of projecting windows. The farmhouse was under renovation at the time of the survey in September 1985.
