Description

Cansell Grove Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in two stages during the early and late 16th century. It has two storeys and a three-cell plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring 20th-century herringbone pargetting in panels. The roof is hipped and thatched, with an axial chimney that has small twin octagonal 20th-century shafts made of red brick. The windows are mid-20th-century casements with three lights, and those on the ground floor include transoms and leaded lights. There is a thatched 20th-century porch at the lobby entrance, which has a boarded and battened door.

On the left side of the farmhouse is a parlour that contains very large unchamfered floor joists from the early 16th century, along with close-studding and evidence of a diamond mullioned window. The right side features close-studding and smaller chamfered first-floor joists typical of the late 16th century. In the hall, there is a lintelled open fireplace dating from the late 16th to early 17th century.
