Description
Valley Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, likely dating from the 17th century or earlier. It has two storeys and a three-cell plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered in large panels, topped with a thatched roof. There is a central 19th-century chimney made of red brick with a sawtooth cap. The windows are small-paned casements from the mid-20th century. The entrance door, also from the 20th century, features six fielded panels and is located in a plain-tiled porch at the rear. At the back, there is a thatched two-storey wing with early 19th-century small-pane sash windows, along with a single-storey service range that has a Roman pantiled roof, dating from the 18th or 19th century.
