Church Farm House

Church Farm House is a house that dates from the early 15th century, with additions and alterations made in the 16th, 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features grey brick with red dressings and some decorative patterning on the south side, while the north side is rendered. The east side is made of English bond red brick, showing some signs of timber framing. The main house has exposed timber framing in the west gable and in a west extension, with some stone and flint found in an altered outbuilding to the west.

The main structure runs east to west and has four gabled wings that extend at right angles to the south, with the eastern wing being a remodelling from the 17th century. There is a lower timber-framed addition to the west, which is currently one bay but was originally longer, and it is linked to the outbuildings that were remodelled into living space in the 20th century. The house is two storeys high and features an end stack to the east, two side stacks to the north, and an end stack to the west of the lower 17th-century extension.

On the north elevation, there is one glazing bar sash window in each of the four gables, with stone cills and rubbed brick flat arches. A tripartite sash window is located on the ground floor to the right of centre, and a 3-light casement is found on the ground floor at the far right. The entrance consists of 3-panel double doors beneath a 20th-century flat canopy supported by cut brackets, situated in the bay to the left of centre, with a lower converted outbuilding to the left.

The south elevation features a canted bay on the left with glazing bar sashes and a raised roof pitch above it. Two chimneys project forward, each accompanied by flanking 20th-century glazing bar sashes, with those on the first floor breaking the eaves. The 17th-century extension breaks forward to the right and contains 2-light casements with a catslide roof over an outshut.

Inside, some 18th-century panelled doors remain in place, and there is an early 17th-century dogleg stair in the 17th-century cross-gabled wing, featuring square moulded newels and turned balusters. The roof consists of five bays with double-butt purlins and trusses that include redundant crown posts. The central truss is of scissor construction with cavetto moulding, and there are chamfered and stopped purlins on either side, all supported by curved wind braces. The rafters were replaced at a later date.
