Town Street Farmhouse

Town Street Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with significant alterations in the 17th, early 19th, and 20th centuries. It is linked to a former cartshed, now garages. The walls are of painted brickwork, laid in an English Garden Wall bond, with cambered ground-floor openings and a plinth. The rear elevation displays exposed timber framework with brick infill, while an 18th-century wing is built of painted brickwork in a Flemish bond, with an exposed frame to the ½-hipped gable. The roof is tiled, with both ½-hipped and hipped sections. Originally a late-medieval timber-framed 3-bay house, it features a central hall with a smoke bay and a first-floor addition. A rear wing was added in the 18th century to the west side, and an extension was built in the early 20th century on the east end. The south front has two storeys and three windows, with a late 20th-century extension of one storey and an attic, containing a single window. The windows are casements. A plain doorway is set within a short, open, rustic gabled porch. A late 20th-century single-storeyed service block connects the rear wing to the former cartshed, which has a ½-hipped tile roof, brick dentil eaves, and outer walls of brickwork in a Flemish bond. The inner face of the cartshed, originally five bays, now provides five garage openings.
