Description
The Old Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century and has been altered and extended in the 18th century and late 19th century. The building features brick on the upper floors and painted render on the ground floor, topped with an old tile gabled and hipped roof. It is designed in an L-shape with the gable facing east and consists of two storeys and an attic. There is one chimney on the ridge and a larger chimney on the right side of the roof slope. A brick string course runs along the building.
On the south front, the gable on the left has one bay with 2-light casement windows, including a small-paned window in the attic. There is a 20th-century lean-to entry porch with a glazed door. To the right, a catslide roof extends down to the ground floor eaves level. The north front features three bays with 3-light 20th-century casement windows that have segmental heads, and a 2-light window in the centre with a 20th-century gabled entry porch below it.
Inside, the farmhouse contains a fine late 17th-century newel staircase, which has turned balusters, a large deep handrail, and balusters with carved dropped bosses, rising from the ground floor to the attic.
