Street Farmhouse

Street Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the early 15th century, around 1400, with alterations made around 1600 and again in 1980. The building has one storey and attics, with a two-storey parlour block from around 1600 on the right. It features a three-cell plan with a cross-entry and is constructed from timber framing and rough-cast. The roof is covered with Roman pantiles, which were once thatched, and there is an axial chimney made of red brick from around 1600, featuring a splayed pilaster on the front face. The house has 20th-century gabled casement dormers and wooden casements from around 1980 with leaded glazing, along with a 1600 ovolo-mullioned window in the rear wall.

Inside, there is a central two-bay open hall from the 15th century. Although the open truss has been entirely removed, two posts remain, showing mortices for long arch-braces that would have supported a missing tie-beam, along with the remains of pilaster-shafts beneath them. There is a blocked two-centred arched front doorway and a mutilated four-centred arched doorway for a service room. The doorway to the parlour from the hall was also four-centred and was previously screened by a spere. The studwork has an average spacing, and the smoke-blackened roof is believed to survive, likely of coupled-rafter form. The remodelled service cell includes some heavy unchamfered floor joists and retains its original roof. Around 1600, an upper floor with chamfered joists was added to the hall, which features a large fireplace with a deep 16th-century lintel. There are also open fireplaces in the rebuilt parlour cell, along with close-studding and a clasped purlin roof. Major remodelling took place around 1980.
