Description
Place Farmhouse is a farmhouse from the mid 19th century, likely with a core dating back to the 16th or 17th century. The building has two storeys and three windows, with rendered brick walls and plain tiled roofs featuring end chimneys made of red brick. The mid 19th century sash windows are paired on the ground floor. The entrance door is a glazed three-panelled design with a rectangular fanlight, and there is an open porch supported by 18th century Tuscan columns, topped with a flat leaded roof. At the rear, there is an 18th century wing with painted brick walling. The farmhouse is included for its group value.
