Description
Town Farm House is a timber-frame house dating from the early to mid 17th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It has a roughcast exterior and a half-hipped thatched roof. The house was originally designed with a small three-cell cross passage plan.
It is a one-storey and attic building. On the ground floor, the entrance is in the cross passage position to the left of the centre and features a 20th-century studded door and an open thatched porch. To the left of the entrance is a three-light metal casement window, while the centre and right sides have 20th-century glazing bar casements. A central eyebrow dormer with dual three-light glazing bar casements is positioned above the roofline. A rendered axial ridge stack is located towards the right end of the house, between the hall and a small parlour. A pantiled lean-to addition, with French windows and an attic light above, extends from the right end. At the rear of the house, a door is positioned in the cross passage position, and a one-storey thatched backhouse is set behind the service bay.
Inside the hall, a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam sits on jowled storey posts, accompanied by a tension brace in the rear wall. The first-floor open truss above the hall lacks a tie beam but features downward cranked braces from the jowled posts to the binding beam below. A tie beam to the left is bisected by an original doorway, and the roof structure incorporates butt purlins with collars.
