Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, and has steeply pitched roofs covered in plain tiles, with some machine tiles. The structure consists of a three-bay hall range with slightly projecting cross ranges, and a short parlour to the right. There is a three-bay service wing that extends to the rear, forming an L shape on the plan. The house has two storeys and an attic.

The front of the building is almost symmetrical, with a central entrance that includes a 20th-century lean-to porch and a part-glazed six-panelled door. Flanking this entrance are two-light 20th-century casement windows, and on the first floor, there is a one-two-one arrangement of light 20th-century casements. The eaves are boxed. The slightly projecting gable-fronted ends have 20th-century three-light casements, shaped brackets on the bargeboards, and sham timber framing at the tops of the gables.

On the right side, the return to the parlour has a ground floor two-light casement and a first-floor part-opening metal frame three-light casement. There is an internal ridge stack towards the rear with rebated panels on the shaft and an oversailing cap, along with a pantiled lean-to outshut at the back. The left return to the service wing features two large transomed five-light part-opening metal frame casements, and two 19th-century axial ridge stacks. There is a boarded door into the rear bay on the inner return, and an early part-opening casement on the first floor, with a pantiled lean-to outshut at the rear.

Inside, the hall has a bar stopped axial binding beam, while the parlour features a chamfered axial binding beam with a defaced moulding, and close studding with a chamfered mid-rail. The second parlour at the front of the service wing has early 17th-century panelling with a guilloche frieze, a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam, and ogee stop-chamfered crossed binding beams in the kitchen. There is a broad early 19th-century dogleg staircase with slat balusters and a moulded handrail. The first-floor parlour chamber has a bolection fireplace surround, and above the hall, there is a quirked wave moulded axial binding beam. The main range and parlour have double butt purlin roofs with collars to the principals and upper arched windbraces, while the service wing has been reroofed.
