Quakers Farmhouse

Quakers Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the mid 17th century, built in two stages. It is a one-storey building with attics and originally featured a three-cell cross-entry plan, with the garden elevation serving as the front. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a concrete pantiled roof that was formerly thatched. It has an axial chimney made of red brick, with the shaft rebuilt in the 20th century, and two external gable chimneys added in the 19th century. The house features mid 20th-century gabled casement dormers and steel small-pane casements, along with a framed and boarded door at the lobby entrance position. The 17th-century framing is fully exposed throughout, showcasing unmoulded elements. Inside, there are on-edge floor joists and lambstongue chamfer-stopped main beams. Although the house was originally built with a cross-entry that is now disused, it currently has a lobby entrance. Additionally, a further two-bay cell was added at the west end beyond the original parlour, likely before 1700. The interior includes large 17th-century lintelled back-to-back open fireplaces.
