Hawthorn Farm House

Hawthorn Farm House is a house dating from around 1600, with extensions and raising that occurred in the late 17th or early 18th century, and alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building has a timber frame that has been extended with clay lump and is entirely cement rendered. It features a steeply pitched pantiled roof. Originally, the house consisted of two cells with a cross passage and has likely always been two storeys high. A stack and parlour bays were added to the right, creating a three-cell lobby entry plan. The entrance is located to the right of the centre and is framed by a 19th-century red brick gabled porch with corner piers topped with oversailing finials. The cross passage entrance to the left of centre has been blocked. The windows are 2-light, with 6 and 8 pane part opening flush metal frame casements. There is a rebuilt ridge stack to the right between the hall and parlour, and the roof has been raised over the early bays to achieve a uniform height. The right gable end displays exposed plates and purlins, while the left gable end features a 20th-century lean-to and an attic casement. At the rear, there are plastered and weatherboarded lean-to additions. Inside, the cross passage remains intact with stop-chamfered jambs and three boarded doors leading to the service bay and stairs. There are five-light diamond mullioned openings over the service bay, a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam in the hall, stop-chamfered joists in the parlour, and close studding with curved braces in the walling, along with a clasped purlin roof.
