Oak Tree Farm House

Oak Tree Farm House is a farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th century. It was raised and cased in the 18th century, and part of it was rebuilt, refronted, and extended in the early 19th century for H. Walton. The core of the building is timber-framed, with a casing of red brick and a white brick refronting. The rear features some plastered late timber frame. The roof is slate, with pantiles at the rear.

The house has three bays, with a parallel two-bay block added to the rear. It is two storeys high. The ground floor has an offset plinth and a central entrance featuring a recessed, half-glazed door. This door is framed by a reeded architrave with a relief panel depicting a stag, and is flanked by outer pilasters with shaped brackets supporting a pedimental hood. There are large recessed tripartite pseudo sashes fitted with casement panes, all with reeded architraves and gauged brick flat arched heads. The first floor has glazing bar sashes, with the left window mimicking the style of the ground floor. The windows in the left bay are interrupted by the floors, as the original storey heights have been retained. The eaves are coved, and the gable ends have coped parapets with kneelers.

The right end features an external stack made of white brick with offsets, while the left end is constructed of 18th-century red brick with tumbled brickwork, a dentilled plat band, and pilaster strips. There is an internal stack with white brick capping and a ground floor pantiled lean-to outshut. To the rear left, there is an early one-storey and attic colourwashed brick lean-to with an entrance and a segmental-headed casement under an open porch, topped with a catslide roof. The two-bay block at the rear centre and right has a brick ground floor and a timber frame first floor, all plastered, with mixed casements, an external stack, and a lean-to outshut at the rear, also with a pantiled roof.

Inside, the entrance leads directly onto an early 19th-century dogleg staircase with slat balusters. The floor features a cross axial chamfered binding beam. The house was the home of H. Walton, a painter who lived from 1745 to 1813.
