Description

Street Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with the possibility of an earlier core. It has two storeys and features a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof, although the front slope has been renewed in concrete plaintiles, while the hipped slope to the right is slated. An axial chimney from the early 17th century is made of red brick and has a sawtooth shaft. The windows are mid-20th century casements with transoms. There is a doorway in the gable wall to the right at the first storey level, which once served a granary over the service end but has been converted into a window. A 19th-century gabled porch with plaintiled roofing is located at the lobby-entrance position, featuring a mid-20th century battened and boarded door. To the left, there is a rear wing that is also timber-framed and plastered, which includes an early 18th-century parapet gable made of red brick with random burnt headers, topped with a chimney at the apex. The interior has not been examined.
