Description
Kings Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates back to around 1740 and was divided into two separate homes in 1936. The building features a roughcast and colourwashed timber frame, with a roof made of concrete corrugated tiles, which replaced the original thatch in 1966. The farmhouse has a T-shaped plan, consisting of a front block running north-south and a wing extending east from the rear.
The structure is two storeys high and has a facade with three windows. Each floor has three uPVC windows. The gabled roof includes a ridge stack, and the entrance door is located at the north gable, sharing space with a 20th-century single-storey extension that has a projecting flat roof. The rear wing also has a three-window range, featuring both two- and three-light uPVC windows.
Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered bridging beams with jewelled tongue stops, and the frame includes jowled principal posts. The ground floor of the east room in the rear wing features a wave-moulded bridging beam.
