Street Farmhouse

The Street Farmhouse dates from the mid to late 16th century, with extensions added in the late 17th or early 18th century. Further casing was added in the 19th century, and alterations occurred in the 20th century. The house is timber-framed, with plaster, some panelled pargetting, and brick casing, and has thatched roofs. It originally had a 6-bay, 3-cell cross passage plan, and a 3-bay kitchen addition to the right that was originally a separate building.

The front elevation has a lobby entrance to the left of centre, with a raised panelled architraved door. A C20 open gabled porch incorporates a reused 16th-century 4-centred arched doorhead with carved spandrels. To the left of the porch is a C20 9-pane casement window, and to the right a transomed 12-pane casement. A 3-light casement is at the right-hand service end. The first floor has three 3-light casement windows. An axial ridge stack is located to the left of centre and has an added oversailing cap. The left gable end has an oversailing attic with exposed plates. The rear features whitewashed brick casing and blocked cross passage doorways with segmental heads.

The single-storey and attic kitchen addition to the right has lower eaves, two 3-light casement windows, a C20 3-light dormer, and an 18th-century axial ridge stack with a rebuilt cap. A C20 lean-to is on the right end.

Inside, the house retains close studding with a mid-rail, traces of cross passage and service doorways (one with a chamfered 4-centred arched head), and hall and parlour binding beams and joists with double roll moulding and brattished sides. The parlour also contains a stop-chamfered fireplace bressumer. The first floor retains traces of a 3-light mullioned window and a doorway with a depressed arched head where hall and parlour chambers are linked. Reused axial binding beams with rebated roll moulds surround cavettos, and reused joists match those on the ground floor. A reverse cranked brace is found within a closed truss partition, and there is evidence of a reused panelled screen. The butt purlin roof in the former open trusses has large arched braces from principals to collars, and cranked windbraces. The kitchen addition has a double butt purlin roof.
