Hulvertree Farmhouse

Hulvertree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century and was built in two phases, with a cross-wing added in 1983 on the site of the old dairy. The building is timber framed and rendered, topped with a pantiled roof, and has one and a half storeys. It features a gabled dormer with a three-light casement window, and two-light and three-light casement windows on the ground floor, all of which are late 20th-century replacements designed in a traditional style. The entrance door is located in a lobby-entrance position on the rear wall, accompanied by a lean-to porch.

Inside, there is an internal stack with a plain red brick shaft, and the interior displays exposed studding and ceilings. The frame is plain and lacks a middle rail. To the left, there are one and a half bays from the early 17th century, with the half bay enclosing the chimney stack. The remaining bay features a chamfered main beam and joists, all adorned with jewel stops and grooves. On the upper floor, there is an original three-light ovolo-mullioned window that is blocked but retains the mullions.

The roof has modern reinforcements and includes principal rafters and butt purlins. A tie beam near the stack has been removed, and the front wall plate ends with part of a scarf joint, indicating that this section of the house was built onto an earlier part, which has since been replaced by the current right-hand end. This newer section is very plain and was clearly always intended to be storied. A tie beam at the junction of the two frames has been cut through for access and shows a marked camber with evidence of arched braces, but lacks studding or infill. The roof features clasped purlins without principals. In the 19th century, the house was encased in red brick, and brick has replaced the studding in part of the rear wall, which is now rendered on the outside.
