Description

Roamwood Green Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse with a north cross-wing added around 1980. The building is timber framed, mostly plastered, with part of the rear covered in roughcast render. It has a plaintiled roof, featuring old clay tiles on the front and concrete tiles on the rear. The farmhouse has a three-cell form, is two storeys tall with an attic, and has three 19th-century tripartite sash windows with glazing bars under wooden hoodmoulds. There is a mid-20th-century standard casement window on the lower left, and the lobby entry includes mid-20th-century French windows and a wide open-fronted brick porch. Additionally, there are three mid-20th-century flat-roofed dormers. The chimney stack has a plain oblong shaft, with the lower part being original and the upper part dating from the 19th century, featuring a sawtooth cap. The gables are overhanging, with the left gable displaying a moulded tie beam and evidence of a projecting first-floor window, along with two original drop-finials and one replacement. The right gable has one original drop-finial at the rear, while the rest is obscured by the 1980 addition.

Inside, some plain studding is exposed on the upper floor, with the studding in the parlour dating from the mid-20th century. The service end has chamfered joists and was originally divided axially into two, with the service partition now removed. Three rooms feature plaster ceilings with bolection-moulded cornices, each subdivided by an encased axial floor beam, likely dating from around 1700. The newel post of the first-floor stair has a knob finial, and the roof is a clasped purlin type with two-way arched wind-bracing.
