French Court Farmhouse

French Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was later converted into a house. It is likely an early 17th century three-bay lobby entrance house, which was underbuilt and modified in the early 18th century with the addition of a service bay to the southwest. A rear lean-to was added in the late 18th century, along with some late 20th century alterations. The building is timber-framed, underbuilt in brickwork, with tile hanging on the first floor and a tile-hung gable on the northwest side. The southwest bay is entirely made of brick. It features a half-hipped tiled roof with an off-center brick chimney stack. The farmhouse has two storeys and three windows, with the front elevation displaying two late 20th century hipped dormers. The windows are late 20th century casements, and the right ground floor window has been converted into a French window. There is a late 20th century gabled weather porch. The original part of the building has Flemish bond brickwork, while the southwestern bay features a mixture of English garden wall bond and English bond. The rear has a catslide roof and walling in Sussex bond brickwork. A late 20th century conservatory has been added to the southwest.

Inside, the internal wall between the former hall and the service wing displays a 17th century frame on a deep plinth. The former hall contains an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel, original side walls, and a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops. The parlour features a curved brick fireplace from the early 18th century with a wooden lintel, a chamfered beam with run-out stops, and a two-panelled door. The first floor has jowled posts and two-inch chamfered beams, with some beams originally having floor joists in the opposite direction. The wide oak floorboards suggest a 17th century date. There is an 18th century winder staircase with an octagonal newel post, and the original part of the roof has purlins from the 18th century. The southwest bay has a late 18th century roof, and there are some plank doors with pintle hinges.
