Robson'S Farmhouse

Robson's Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with two storeys and a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed, rendered on the sides, and faced in white brick from around 1880, when a porch was added. There is also a white brick lean-to along the rear wall. The main roof is covered with black-glazed single Roman tiles, while the enclosed porch has pantiles. Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft. The farmhouse features small-paned sash windows in flush frames, some of which may have been reused from an earlier phase of the house. The main beams in both principal ground-floor rooms have chamfer and complex scroll-stops, which are placed well within the line of the walls, with no evidence of reuse. To the east of the chimney stack, the open fireplace has a wide brick arch, and in the same room, there is a blocked original mullioned window in the gable wall. In front of the stack, within the lobby, there is a late 19th-century stair with turned balusters in an 18th-century style.
