Description

Street Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century and around 1970. It originally had a two-cell lobby-entrance plan and is two storeys high. A lower service range was added to the left-hand end in the 17th century. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with 19th-century alterations of plastered clunch. It features double Roman pantiled roofs with central and end chimneys made of red and gault brick, and 20th-century monopitched casement dormers. The windows are 20th-century casements. A mid-19th century gabled entrance porch has a pair of two-panelled doors, a broad moulded architrave, and console brackets that support a cornice. Inside, the hall showcases an exposed late 16th-century first-floor structure of good quality, with roll-moulded beams and joists. The upper floor was likely jettied along the front wall before being underbuilt in the 19th century. The roof is a good example of a wind-braced clasped-purlin design.
