Field Farmhouse

Field Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 16th century, early 17th century, and late 18th to early 19th century. It is timber-framed, rendered, and lined, with plain tiles on the front slopes of the roof and black-glazed pantiles on the rear. The building has an irregular shape and is unusually tall. The main range from the 16th century is aligned north-south and has three storeys plus attics. It features a large internal chimney stack with eight octagonal shafts, which are moulded at both the cap and base.

On the first and second storeys, there are two early 18th-century three-light casement windows with square leaded panes. The ground storey has one similar window and one 20th-century replacement window, along with a small-paned sash window in a flush frame at the south end. To the north of the main range is a cross-wing, which appears to be contemporary with it, aligned east-west and also three storeys high. This wing has a chimney stack with three shafts that match those in the main range, located just within the frame of the north wall.

At the south end of the main range, there is an east-west wing that was added in the early 19th century. This wing has two storeys and three bays, with a fully hipped roof. It features a three-window range of small-paned sashes in flush frames, and a central half-glazed entrance door that is recessed, set in a reeded surround with panelled sides to the jambs. The entrance is sheltered by a three-sided cast iron openwork porch with a tented lead-covered roof.

The rear of the farmhouse has several extensions. In the north-east corner, there is a small two-storey wing from the early 17th century made of red brick, which includes a three-light ovolo-moulded mullion-and-transom window in the upper part of the gable. To the north of this wing is a mid-19th century two-storey lean-to in red brick with a black-glazed pantiled roof, featuring casement windows with arched heads to the brickwork. To the east, there is a single-storey lean-to from the mid-19th century made of flint rubble with a pantiled roof.
