Description
Town Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1640, which was partly rebuilt and altered in 1974 following a fire. It features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame set on a brick plinth, topped with a machine tile roof. The building has a lobby entrance plan and is two storeys high with a four-window range. To the left of the centre, there is a 19th-century gabled porch. On the ground floor to the right, there is one three-light late 19th-century casement window, and on the first floor, there are three similar but 20th-century casements. The gabled roof has a rebuilt ridge stack over the door and an external gable-end stack on the north side. There is a two-storey 20th-century extension to the east at the north end, which has one late 20th-century three-light casement on each floor and a flat composition roof. At the south end, there is a single-storey gabled 19th-century extension.
Inside, the farmhouse has a frame with splay-topped principal posts. There are chamfered bridging beams in the centre of the house with tongue stops, and boxed bridging beams at the south end. The interior also features cambered tie beams and a clasped purlin roof.
