Description
Street Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th century, with alterations made in the late 16th century. It is timber framed, with the front covered in early 20th century common brick, while the rest is plastered. The roof is pantiled, featuring mainly glazed black tiles on the front slope. The building has one and a half storeys and follows a three-cell layout with a former open hall. There are three windows, which are 20th century small-paned three-light casements set under segmental arches. The farmhouse has two doorways, each with a four-panel door; the left doorway, positioned where the cross-entry would have been, includes an overlight.
There are two flat-roofed dormers with older casement windows. Inside, there is an internal stack, although most of the external portion of the shaft has been demolished. At the rear, a mullioned dairy window is partly slatted and features an internal sliding shutter. The interior remains largely unmodernised, with much of the structure concealed, particularly at the parlour end. The timbers in the former open hall show heavy sooting. A blocked two-centre arched cross-entry doorway is found in the rear wall. The rear half of the service partition survives, which includes one four-centre arched doorway. An intact 16th century plank and muntin partition separates the cross-passage from the hall. Some medieval joists are visible in the service cell, which is still divided into two rooms. The hall's open truss has been removed, except for a small part of the arched braces below the upper floor. A stack has been inserted into the upper bay of the hall, with a fireplace that has a heavy lintel. The late 16th century inserted floor features chamfered joists, and there are two oak staircases from the 17th century or later.
