3/47 Robson's Farmhouse -

• II

Farmhouse. Late C17. 2 storeys: 3-cell lobby-entrance plan. Timber-framed, rendered on the sides, faced in white brick circa 1880, when a porch was added. A white brick lean-to along the rear wall. Black-glazed single Roman tiles to main roof, pantiles to enclosed porch. An internal chimney-stack with a plain red brick shaft. Small-paned sash windows in flush frames, some probably reused from an earlier phase of the house. Main beams in both principal ground-storey rooms with chamfer and complex scroll-stops: the stops are placed well within the line of the walls, but there is no evidence of reuse. To the east of the chimney-stack, the open fireplace has a wide brick arch, and in the same room is a blocked original mullioned window in the gable wall. In front of the stack, within the lobby, a late C19 stair with turned balusters in C18 style.
