Description
Fishers Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and has been altered over time. It features an old tile roof and brick walls made of grey headers and red stretchers, with a dentil course at the eaves. There is some timber framing visible in the rear gable. The building is arranged in an L shape, with a low extension at the end of the south arm and another extension under a catslide roof between the arms of the L. A large chimney is located at the junction of the L arms. The farmhouse is two storeys high, and the east elevation is irregular, featuring three 20th-century casement windows. The entrance door is located under a large gabled porch, positioned between the first and second windows from the right.
