Description

Street Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, mainly dating from the early 15th and 16th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof, and has 1½ storeys and an attic. The building has a three-cell layout with a former open hall and features various casement windows. To the right, there are two diamond-mullioned windows, with the ground floor window having replacement mullions. A small canted bay with mid-20th century windows is present on the ground floor. The 19th-century doorway has an architrave with panelled jambs and a pedimented cornice, leading to a four-panel door. There are three gabled dormers on the roof and an internal stack with a square rendered shaft.

Internally, much of the 15th-century framing is concealed. The front wall includes an original cross-entry doorway with a two-centred arch. The open truss features a cambered tie beam with intact but concealed braces, an octagonal crown-post with a moulded cap, and four almost straight braces, with the base of the post concealed. The coupled rafters and collar purlin are intact and heavily sooted. The remainder of the structure appears to be largely from the 16th century. The parlour contains a bridging beam and closely spaced joists, all featuring a single cavetto mould. There is an intact open fireplace, and the end wall of the parlour displays remains of a 16th to 17th-century painting on plaster, depicting a figure carrying a sword and staff in red with black lining.

In the chamber above, a pair of inserted upper crucks supports an attic floor above eaves level. The 16th-century inserted hall ceiling has an axial bridging beam with broach stop-chamfers, with the joists concealed. A plank and muntin screen against the cross-passage may be contemporary. Additionally, a stack has been inserted against the outside of the upper end wall of the hall. The house has been extended approximately 3 meters beyond the end of the parlour, likely in the 18th century.
