Village Farmhouse

Village Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building that dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is a complex range of connected units. The oldest part, located to the north-east, is a timber-framed structure with brick nogging and a half-hipped tile roof. The south-west corner features the old farmhouse, which has one storey and an attic, with its south-west elevation designed as two gables, each containing one window. This section is tile-hung above a red brick lower wall laid in Flemish bond with blue headers.

On the north-west elevation facing the road, the gable is obscured by an 18th-century wall in red brick (Flemish bond), giving the appearance of a two-storey facade with a low-pitched pediment. Above the ground-floor Venetian sash window, which has a rubbed archway with a keystone, there is an upper panel that was formerly a window.

The north-east side features a tile-hung first gable that extends to ground level, merging into a single-storey extension from the early 19th century. This extension has brick dentil eaves, a sash window in the forward part, a ground-floor casement in the centre, and a gabled dormer above a doorway. The doorway is adorned with a pediment on brackets, a wide frame, and a six-flush panelled door.

The irregular arrangement of the attached buildings from the 19th century is covered with old tiles, with hips and gables that accommodate the varying heights. The middle section consists of one and two-storey units, and at the rear, there is a long seven-bay oast block featuring pilasters and small cambered openings, which have been widened on the south side to fit modern casements.
