Daisy Farmhouse

Daisy Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is an unusually late example of a three-cell open hall house, consisting of one storey and attics. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring a slated roof that was originally thatched. It has axial and end chimneys made of red brick. The mid-20th century windows are small-pane casements, and there is a glazed panelled door located in the cross-passage. Notably, it has a clasped-purlin roof over the open hall, which is smoke-encrusted, and retains the original hipped end with a smoke-gablet above the service cell to the right, although this area is now enclosed by a 20th-century roof structure. The hall and parlour contain inserted back-to-back fireplaces, and the upper floor over the hall likely dates to the early 17th century; the lintel of the parlour fireplace is believed to have an incised date on its rear face.
