Description
Mere Close Farm is an early 17th-century farmhouse, with a possible earlier core. It originally had a 3-cell cross-entry plan. The house is two storeys high and built with a timber frame, now covered with pebble-dashed rendering. The roof is pantiled, previously thatched, and features a pair of carved brackets beneath 19th-century bargeboards with carved and pierced soffits and a long drop-finial at the right-hand gable. An early 17th-century axial chimney is constructed of red brick, featuring a sunk date panel at its base and a sawtooth shaft. A mid-19th century entrance doorway is located in the cross-entry position, accompanied by a gabled porch with carved brackets and decorative bargeboards. A rear service wing, likely dating to the 17th century or earlier, is also present. The interior has not been inspected.
