Mersley Farmhouse

Mersley Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th or 17th century, with alterations made in the early 18th century. The left wing was added in the 18th century. It is constructed from Isle of Wight stone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins. The building has a steeply pitched tiled roof with two brick chimney stacks. It stands two storeys high and has two windows. The first floor has two triple renewed casements set within original stone architraves, while the ground floor features two larger triple casements also within original architraves. There is a later gabled porch leading to an early 19th-century six-flush panelled door. The 18th-century left wing is made of painted brick, is one storey and an attic high, and includes an end brick chimney stack. This wing also has a late 17th or early 18th-century mullioned window, one gabled dormer, and a later passageway. The original part of the farmhouse retains remnants of timber framing and very thick beams, which likely date from the 16th century based on their scantling and lack of chamfers.
