Description

Old Farm House is a former farmhouse that dates from the late 17th century. It features a tablet dated 1852 on the porch with the initials TGC, which stands for Thomas Gery Cullum. The building has one-and-a-half storeys and a three-cell plan. Its core is timber-framed, while the exterior is made of flint rubble with red brick dressings and a black glazed pantiled roof. There are two internal chimney-stacks with red brick shafts. The windows are arranged in two- and three-light configurations, featuring red brick mullions and hood-moulds, along with wrought-iron casements that have octagonal and diamond panes. The house has four gabled dormers with carved bargeboards and spike finials. The entrance porch is enclosed and gabled, adorned with strapwork decoration on the bargeboards in the Jacobean style. The 20th-century boarded oak entrance door has an arched head and a brick hood-mould. Inside, the joists are exposed on the ground storey.
