Description
Church Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the early 17th century and early 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building has a three-cell plan and is two storeys high. It features a timber-framed structure with plastering and a plaintiled roof. The roof includes a central 17th-century chimney made of red brick with a sawtooth shaft, pierced crested ridge tiles, and carved 19th-century bargeboards on the gable of the parlour block to the right. The windows are small-pane sashes and casements, most of which were renewed in the 20th century. There is a glazed entrance door set in a long pantiled lean-to extension.
The prominent parlour block showcases typical early 17th-century framing, with on-edge floor joists and close-studding, many of which are broad and reused. Inside, there are three open fireplaces; one in the hall features a reused roll-moulded 16th-century beam as a lintel, which is carved with a trailing vine motif and decorated with bunches of grapes. The lower hall range was completely rebuilt in the 18th century and displays fully-exposed primary-braced studding.
