Description

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made around 1840. It was originally built in a three-cell lobby-entrance form, with a further bay added to the left and a bakehouse/dairy wing added to the rear in the early 19th century. The building has two storeys and attics, constructed from timber framing and roughcast. It features a plaintiled roof with a central chimney made of red brick. The early 19th-century casements have large panes, and two splayed bays are topped with plaintiled hipped roofs and large-paned sash windows. There is a two-storey gabled entrance porch from the 19th century, or possibly earlier, which has a spike gable finial and scrolled brackets, along with an early 19th-century pediment above a mid-20th-century panelled door. Inside, typical unmoulded sawn framing members from the late 17th-century structure are exposed.
