Description

Badwell Green Farm is a former farmhouse dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior, while the east gable end is faced with kidney flints and red brick. The roofs are covered with plain tiles. The building has two storeys and features a three-cell main range, along with a two-storey wing and a single-storey lean-to at the rear, which are either contemporary or nearly contemporary with the front.

The front of the farmhouse has four three-light old casement windows on each storey, complete with original fittings, transoms, and a single horizontal bar for the lights. The entrance door is half-glazed and dates from the early 20th century; it was formerly sheltered by a lobby-entrance against the internal chimney stack, which has a plain red brick shaft.

Inside, the framing is exposed, showcasing bisected studs, primary braces, and a middle rail. The main ceiling beams have been reused from an earlier building. The roof structure includes full principal rafters, clasped purlins, and a ridge piece. On the rear wall, there is one casement window with old square leaded panes and another window featuring some old diamond leading.

The house is positioned sideways to the road and represents a late example of the traditional three-cell plan, with the third unit also heated.
