Description
Coles Farmhouse is a farmhouse, probably from the 16th century, that stands two storeys high. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped at both ends. The farmhouse features a central 19th-century chimney made of red brick, which has twin diagonally-set flues on a sawtooth base. The windows include 19th-century small-pane casements, and some diamond-mullioned windows are exposed and glazed. There is a boarded entrance door located within a fully-glazed lean-to conservatory. The house has two phases of construction, with the west end, starting from the chimney stack, being slightly higher. At the rear, there is a pantiled outshut that dates from the 18th or 19th century.
