The Old Farmhouse And Uraniborg

The Old Farmhouse and Uraniborg is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates back to around 1500 and was remodeled in the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries, and a late 20th-century extension. The building is timber-framed with plastered and brick infilling, topped with a thatched roof that has hipped ends. It features brick axial and lateral stacks.

The layout consists of a 3-bay main range with a 2-bay cross-wing at the southwest end. At least two bays of the main range, known as the hall, and the cross-wing were originally open to the roof, showcasing smoke-blackened roof timbers. Floors and an axial stack were added in the early 17th century. A 1-bay extension, which includes a garage, was constructed at the northeast end in the late 20th century.

The exterior is one storey with an attic and has an asymmetrical four-window arrangement. It features various casement windows, with two-light windows on the ground floor to the right having small panes, and attic windows positioned under eyebrow eaves. The cross-wing has 17th-century canted oriels on shaped brackets, located in a small gable to the right of the center under the eaves of the hipped roof. There are doorways in the center and on the right, both with thatched canopies. The right-hand return and rear wall of the cross-wing are faced in brick, while the main range to the right is partly faced in brick as well, with eyebrow dormers and a thatched canopy over the doorway to the right, adjacent to the 20th-century garage.

Inside, the main range features stop-chamfered axial beams, brick fireplaces with chamfered timber bressumers, and old plank doors. The cross-wing contains two ground floor rooms with a chamfered beam above the partition, unchamfered joists, and a roof structure that consists of two bays with chamfered cambered tie-beams on jowled storey-posts, collar-rafters, and smoke-blackened timbers. The main range has a clasped-purlin roof with a square-set ridge-piece on a small collar, common rafters, and many intact battens, all of which are also smoke-blackened.
