Patcham Court Farmhouse

Patcham Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, which has been altered and enlarged, particularly by the extension of the southern range westwards in 1971, designed by the owner, John B Denman. The building is constructed of flint with brick dressings and features a tiled roof.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high. The original part of the building is L-shaped, with a longer entrance wing running east-west and a shorter north-south wing at its western end. It has brick quoins and brick dressings. The north front has a flat-arched entrance with an architrave that resembles elaborate bolection moulding, a panelled door with a glazed upper panel, and two flat-arched windows with casements on both the ground and first floors. The cross-wing has only an oculus on its east front, while the gabled north front is blank except for brick quoins and the brickwork detail of a central stack. The west front of this wing features two sash windows on both floors.

The extension facing north includes a flat-arched entrance on the ground floor with a moulded architrave, a broken pediment, and a panelled door with a glazed upper panel. There is brick banding at ground floor level, two sash windows on the first floor, and a tile-hung half-hipped wing with three sash windows facing north and a half-hipped dormer facing west. A small half-hipped garage is located to the west of this wing. The east front is tile-hung and half-hipped, featuring a two-span hipped-roofed garage. On the south front, there is a catslide roof at the east end over a flat-arched window, with one half-hipped dormer. The remainder of this range is made of flint with brick dressings at ground floor level, sash windows, and a jettied tile-hung first floor with casement windows. There are two stacks in the slope of the roof, with one being an end stack. The interior has not been inspected.
