Description
Lawn Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse located on Woolpit Warren Lane. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features an old colourwash. The building has a band at the first floor and a dentil course beneath the eaves, along with parapet gables. The roof is made of concrete plain tiles and includes an axial chimney of red brick from the 17th century. The farmhouse has two storeys and three windows, with 19th-century three-light casements that have transoms, and chamfered heads at the ground storey. The entrance door, also from the 19th century, is a six-panelled design with a canopy supported by console brackets. At the rear, there is a two-storey service wing from the 18th century, made of red brick with similar details, but it features flint fabric at the back and has a hipped plain tile roof. The earlier range has ovolo-moulded beams on the first floor.
