Description

Crow's Nest Farmhouse is a mid-16th century house that stands two storeys high and features two bays, with a left rear wing that forms an L-shape. The building is timber framed and has an 18th-century brick skin on the front, which includes a brick dentil cornice. The roof is old and tiled, with a central compound stack. The first-floor windows are early 19th-century sashes, while the ground-floor windows are early 20th-century square bays. The entrance features an 18th-century door with a pedimented doorcase, set within a modern trellis porch. The ends of the house reveal visible timber framing with painted brick filling. At the back right, there is a long lean-to that likely dates from the late 17th century. Inside, there is much stout timber visible, along with a side-purlin roof that has heavy wind braces. Additionally, some Elizabethan panelling can be found in an upstairs room.
