Robey'S Farmhouse

Robey's Farmhouse dates from the early 18th century, with additions and alterations in the early 19th century and later. It is an L-shaped house presenting two symmetrical facades to its outer elevations. The house is two storeys and has an attic. The south-east front has five windows and features an old hipped tile roof with coved plaster eaves. The walls are flint with flush red brick dressings, incorporating strings at the levels of the eaves fascia, first floor cills, and ground-floor cill (with a plinth set-off). The brickwork is tiled to the strings and features rubbed flat arches below the first-floor band, with rusticated quoins to all openings. Upper windows are two-light casements, while the lower windows are Victorian sashes. A brick porch has side windows, a plain cambered opening, a coping stone to a low-pitched gable roof, impost bands, and recessed panels. The porch roof is slate, and a four-glazed door is set in a solid frame. The north-east elevation is wider, also with five windows, mirroring the wall and roof treatment of the south-east front, with one hipped-roofed dormer window over the second bay. It has a six-panelled door (with two panes of glass in the upper half) under a flat canopy, approached by a flight of steps. Basement windows have panelled surrounds, and two ground-floor windows on the north side have raised cills. The west wall has been altered and joins with a later structure built into the angles.
