Description

Meadow Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It has two storeys and features a three-cell lobby entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof. An internal chimney stack has three attached square chimneys, which have been rebuilt using old bricks. The house has three-light cast iron casement windows, with the ground storey windows being larger and featuring a cross-bar and replacement square leading, while the upper storey retains old leaded panes. There is a 20th-century enclosed gabled porch with plain bargeboards.

Inside, the framing is exposed, showcasing widely spaced substantial studs and main beams with a 3-inch chamfer. There has been considerable reconstruction of the fireplaces. The service end of the house may have been divided into two, as indicated by a replaced ceiling and the remains of doorways with arched spandrels, some of which are fake. At the west end, there is a high, seven-light window on the ground storey in the gable end wall, featuring hollow-chamfer mouldings on the replacement mullions, and a corresponding window on the upper floor with diamond mullion housings. The front wall has a blocked four-light window with diamond mullions still in place. A newel stair is located to the front of the stack within the lobby.
