Description
Town Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed with brick infill and features an old tile hipped roof. The building has a nearly square plan consisting of four framed bays, with a small full-height contemporary projection of one framed bay on the northeast side. It stands two and a half storeys tall and has a cellar.
On the northwest roof slope, there is a large, tall chimney, and a smaller, similar chimney is located on the northeast side. The farmhouse has two hipped roof dormers on the northwest and one on the southeast. Most of the windows are leaded and have weatherings above them, and the eaves are open.
The entrance front faces northwest and features two-light casements in the dormers, with the right dormer being leaded. There are two 3-light contemporary windows on the first floor, which have mullions and transoms, along with small centre-opening casements that have old ironwork. To the left of centre, there is a 19th-century, four-panelled entrance door with a flat moulded hood supported by carved brackets. To the left of the door is a 4-light casement, and to the right is a 3-light casement.
On the rear front, which faces southwest, there are three 19th-century, 2-light casements on the first floor. Below these, in the centre, is a 20th-century part-glazed garden door; to the left is a 3-light, 19th-century casement with a small opening light in the top right corner, and to the right of the door are two 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars set in moulded architrave frames. Inside, there is early 18th-century panelling and an overmantel above a 20th-century fireplace in the dining room.
