Description

Bullocks Farm House is a farmhouse, which was later divided into two dwellings. It dates from the mid 17th century and was altered in the 20th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof. It has a three-cell lobby entry plan and is two storeys high with an attic. The entrance is located to the right of the centre and features a half-glazed door within an open gabled porch. There are 20th-century two-light casement windows, and a second entrance with a half-glazed architraved door is situated at the far left, which serves the service end. The ridge stack has been rebuilt. The left gable end has brackets supporting the exposed plates and exposed purlins. There are pantiled lean-to outshut additions on both gable ends, with a stack on the left and an entrance on the right. At the rear, there are two first-floor 19th-century three-light part-opening metal frame casements. Inside, the frame is largely concealed, but there is a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam and joists, reverse curved bracing in the end wall, and a clasped purlin roof with arched windbraces.
