Valley Farm House

Valley Farm House is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with brick additions, all covered in plaster, and has a steeply pitched black glazed pantiled roof. The house has a large three-cell plan, likely with a lobby entrance originally. It stands two storeys tall with an attic.

The entrance is now located to the left of the centre, just to the right of the presumed original lobby entrance between the hall and parlour. It features a recessed six-panelled door that is part raised and part glazed, framed by a doorcase with fluted pilasters and an open pedimental head. The windows include 19th and 20th-century glazing bar flush frame casements, with hoodboards on the ground floor. The eaves are boxed.

There are two large axial ridge stacks between the cells; the larger stack on the right has four conjoined hexagonal shafts serving the hall and service end, while the left stack has three conjoined hexagonal shafts serving the parlour end, both of which have been rebuilt. The left gable end has two-light casements with a pentice board to the attic and a three-light window, revealing exposed plates and purlins. The right gable end features a ground floor entrance and a four-light casement, with a ten-light mullion and transom leaded casement on the first floor, a pentice board, and a two-light window in the attic, also showing exposed plates and purlins.

The house has been extended to the rear in the 19th and 20th centuries, with a continuous brick range and an almost flat roof, along with two dormers inserted into the main roof. Inside, much of the frame is concealed, but close studding is visible along with chamfered storey posts. The service end has a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam and joists. On the first floor, there is a three-light ovolo mullioned window opening, and above the parlour, a double ovolo moulded bar stopped axial binding beam. Above the hall, there are crossed ovolo moulded bar stopped binding beams and cambered collars clasping purlins.
