Description
Town Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse featuring a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan. It stands two storeys high with attics and is constructed with timber framing and plaster on a tarred brick plinth. The roof is made of concrete pantiles and has a central 18th-century chimney made of red brick. The building includes 19th-century or early 20th-century three-light small-pane casements and a 19th-century six-panel entrance door, with the upper pair of panels glazed. This farmhouse is a complete and typical example of 17th-century architecture, showcasing unmoulded fully-exposed framing. The floor joists are laid flat and chamfered in the parlour. Inside, there are two altered lintelled open fireplaces, and the original attic space is above the hall and parlour cells only. The roof structure features wind-braced clasped purlins.
