Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse with medieval origins that was largely rebuilt around 1600 as a three-cell house. It has a later in-line service addition to the left (west). The building is timber framed, with the front plastered and designed to imitate ashlar, while the gable ends are finished in roughcast render, one of which is dated 1909. The roof is pantiled and the house has one and a half storeys, featuring three 20th-century casement windows. There is a lobby entrance with a lean-to porch and a glazed four-panel door, along with two catslide dormers that have older casement windows.
Inside, there is an internal stack with a tall oblong shaft and a small square-shafted stack at the former gable end to the left. The parlour cell has full-height studding exposed, but this is rare elsewhere in the house. Many of the timbers used in the construction are re-used. The parlour chamber contains two diamond-mullioned windows. The service end features some heavy square joists, likely medieval, while the hall has chamfered joists and the parlour has plain joists. The hall fireplace includes some re-used stonework, and the opposite fireplace in the parlour has a three-centred brick arch. There is a straight stair at the lower end of the hall, which is a 19th or 20th-century addition. The roof timbers are concealed.
