Description

Dairy Farmhouse is a farmhouse from the late 16th century, with later additions. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure that jetties at the front. The building is two storeys high with attics and has a roof covered in plaintiles. There is an end chimney-stack made of plain red brick that was added in the late 18th century. On the ground floor, there are two early 20th-century canted bay windows, while the upper floor has three small-paned sash windows. The gable includes two small attic windows with pointed Gothic heads. The entrance has a six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight above it. At the rear, there is a mid-19th-century range built of random flint with plaintiles and an internal stack, featuring small-paned sash windows on the ground floor and casements with arched heads above.
