Description
Kiln Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with extensions from the 18th century and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a timber-framed building, now plastered, with a steeply pitched machine tiled roof. Originally arranged with a three-room lobby entry plan, a service wing was later added to create an L-shaped layout. The house has two storeys and an attic. The main entrance is recessed, with an architraved, half-glazed door and a projecting hood; it is positioned to the right of centre. There are 3-light casements with hoodboards and a blind opening above the entrance. Boxed eaves run along the roofline. An axial ridge stack, with a rebuilt cap, is located between the hall and parlour. A brick lean-to is attached to the right-hand end, and an external stack is on the left-hand end, alongside a boarded door and attic casements. The service wing at the rear left has a brick ground floor from the 18th century, with a timber-framed first floor that has been rendered. A boarded door is set within a 20th-century porch at the rear, and there is an internal brick stack with original tumbled-in brick at the base and 19th-century brick above. A boarded door is found in the inner return. One- and two-storey lean-to outshuts are situated behind the main range. The interior features concealed timber framing, and the service wing has stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams with run-out stops.
