Description
Lines Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600, with extensions from the early 18th century and alterations made in the 19th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. The building features a three-cell lobby entry plan with an additional bay added to the parlour end on the right side. It stands two storeys high.
On the ground floor, the lobby entrance is now roughly central and consists of a half-glazed, half-fielded panelled door with an architrave and hoodboard. To the left, towards the service end, there is a boarded door. The ground floor has three-light part-opening metal frame casements, with hoodboards above, while the first floor features smaller windows. The added bay on the right has slightly higher eaves. An axial ridge stack is located between the hall and parlour. The left end displays exposed plates and side purlins, while the right gable end is made of 18th-century red brick, decorated with diaper patterns using flared headers, and has an internal end stack.
At the rear right, there is a short lean-to outshut made of flint and red brick, with a pantiled oven outshut located behind the stack. Inside, much of the frame is concealed, but the original parlour showcases a richly carved acanthus frieze on the fireplace bressumer, with roll-moulded borders. The building also features ogee stop-chamfered axial binding beams, a later stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam in the added bay, and cambered collars in the concealed roof.
