Description
Batrums is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a thatched roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring a three-cell, cross-entry layout. The windows are small-paned casements, and there is a 20th-century plank door with an open gabled porch. Inside, there is an internal stack with most of the shaft retaining its original brickwork, and to the left, there is a 1.5-storey pantiled addition. The main components of the frame and some studs are visible inside. A blocked cross-entry doorway has a four-centre arched head, and the parlour fireplace features a four-centre arched lintel. The roof is supported by one row of wind-braced clasped purlins.
