Description
Oak Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, constructed in four phases. It features a timber frame with exposed studding, much of which is closely spaced, and has a plaintiled roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and consists of a single unusually long range. Various windows include moulded mullions, some original and others from the mid-20th century in a matching style, along with several casement windows, mainly from the mid-20th century. There is a gabled brick porch with a four-panelled door that dates to the 20th century, and one gabled dormer.
The farmhouse has an internal stack and an external stack against the front wall. To the left, there is an overhanging gable supported by original carved brackets. Inside, the interior showcases much fine exposed timbering. In the parlour addition at the left end, the bridging beam is supported on wineglass-pattern corbels carved on the storey posts. The chamber above features fine studding and an applied crenellated cornice. Two of the other first-floor rooms have cross-beamed ceilings, with one room containing 16th and 17th-century oak panelling. In the cross-passage of the earliest section, there is a doorway with carved spandrels. At the right-hand end, there is a one-bay addition with a queen-post roof and diamond-mullioned windows, which has been used as a dairy.
