Description
Safford's Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame encased in late 19th-century colourwashed brick. The building has a pantiled roof with glazed black tiles at the front and consists of two storeys and an attic. It follows a two-cell, lobby entrance layout. The windows are mid-20th-century casements, and there is a gabled brick porch with the entrance door located in the side wall. The farmhouse has a central axial stack that is rendered over. It is a small house with only three bays and showcases good exposed framing and floor structures inside. Notable interior features include original newel stairs and some original doors, as well as two arched brick fireplaces, one of which is incomplete on the ground floor. The roof is supported by a single row of clasped purlins.
