Description
Pear Tree Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame with 20th-century textured render, while the gable ends are cased in red brick and rendered over. The roof is covered with glazed black pantiles. The building has two storeys and an attic, designed in a three-cell, lobby entry layout. It includes three late 19th-century three-light mullioned casement windows with ovolo moulding and no glazing bars. There is a narrow two-storey gabled porch dating from around 1900, which has a four-panel door. Inside, there is an internal stack and a small gable stack to the left. The interior has been Victorianized, with most of the original structure concealed. The hall and parlour ceilings each feature two axial bridging beams, and there is a newel staircase, with the attic flight being original. The roof structure is a queen-post design.
