Cherry Tree Farmhouse

Cherry Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the early 16th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with the front featuring old plaster panels filled with herringbone pargetting. The roof is pantiled. The building has a three-cell, cross-entry layout and stands two storeys tall. There are four windows, with 19th-century casements: small-paned two-light windows on the first floor and three-light windows with horizontal glazing bars on the ground floor. The entrance has a 19th-century six-panel door, with the upper four panels being glazed. Inside, the structure has a five-bay frame with widely spaced studs. The interior includes a two-bay hall and a one-bay parlour, both featuring very heavy, closely spaced joists that are mostly plain. A service partition has one blocked four-centre arched doorway, and the timbers in the service cell are mostly concealed. The internal stack has a bay and features a rebuilt hall fireplace with an old lintel. A tie beam over the hall chamber has heavy braces, and there is a plain crown-post roof, though it has not been examined in detail.
