Description
Walnut Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with the possibility of an earlier core. It has two storeys and features a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a concrete pantiled roof. An early 17th-century chimney made of red brick has three octagonal shafts and bases, with the plinth adorned with a dentil band. The windows are mid-20th century three-light casements with leaded panes. There is also an open 20th-century gabled porch supported by posts. The interior has not been examined.
