Walnut Tree Farm House

Walnut Tree Farm House is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and part cased in 1870. The building features a timber frame that is plastered and partially cased in white brick. It has a steeply pitched roof covered with machine-made tiles, with pantiles and plaintiles at the rear. The house follows a three-cell lobby entry plan, with a kitchen bay forming an L shape in the service wing. It has two storeys and an attic, with the entrance located to the right of centre. This entrance features a part-glazed door with six raised panels and is topped by a 19th-century pedimental hood. The windows are 20th-century three-light glazing bar casements, and there is an 18th-century eaves cornice.

The house has an axial ridge stack located to the right of centre between the hall and parlour, which has a rebuilt cap, and a left end 18th-century external service stack. The white brick returns have pilaster strips and segmental-headed two-light casements. The early kitchen bay at the rear left has an outer entrance with a broad cambered head, and there is a one-storey rebuilding of the dairy bay beyond. At the rear centre, there is a broad 18th-century gabled bay.

Inside, the parlour features exposed studding with alternate studs inserted to resemble close studding, a bar stop ovolo moulded axial binding beam, and a chamfered depressed arched fireplace. The kitchen has an ogee stop chamfered axial binding beam. On the first floor, there is reverse curved arched bracing in the walling and a stop chamfered cross axial binding beam in the parlour chamber. In the attic, there is a five-light ovolo mullioned window opening with intermediate small diamond mullions. The roof has been altered with a secondary flat wall plate, collars, and halved principals clasped by purlins.
