Description
Botwright's Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame, mostly plastered, and has a pantiled roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and follows a three-cell layout. It has four windows, which are 20th-century two-light and three-light casements, and a 20th-century boarded entrance door. There is an internal stack and a gable stack on the left side. The interior has been somewhat altered, with little of the timber frame visible. The hall contains chamfered joists, and in the front wall, there is a blocked original doorway with an arched head. Evidence of diamond-mullioned windows can be seen on both floors, including an intact but blocked three-light window over the service end. The roof has some smoke-blackened rafters but appears to be a post-medieval reconstruction.
