Pear Tree Farm House with Attached Granary

Pear Tree Farm House with attached granary is a farmhouse dating from the early and late 16th century, raised in the early to mid 17th century, and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with roughcast and has a steeply pitched corrugated sheet roof. The building has a three-cell cross entry plan, originally possibly consisting of three bays with an open hall and a storeyed bay to the left, later adding a stack and parlour to the right. It is two storeys high, with a cross entry to the left of centre and a second entrance into the parlour to the right, both featuring half-glazed four-panel doors and 20th-century three-light casements. The eaves are boxed, and there is an axial ridge stack to the right of centre between the hall and parlour, with a rebuilt rendered cap. Gable end casements, exposed plates, and purlins are also present. At the rear, there is a continuous brick and pantiled lean-to outshut with a three-light casement, an entrance into a 20th-century addition, and an 18th-century external kitchen stack behind which extends a lean-to outbuilding with two boarded doors.

Inside, there is a rebated section to the post in the hall, possibly for the original open truss, stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams, and storey posts in the parlour. The first floor features arched braces in the walling, a chamfered four-centred arched fireplace in the hall chamber, uniform early eaves, straight arched braces from posts to tie beams, inserted bar stop-chamfered binding beams, and a clasped purlin roof. Attached to the rear right is an 18th-century granary, which has a timber frame, is plastered, has a pantiled roof, and features a secondary date of 1776 in the gable facing the house.
