Farmhouse Rest Home

The Farmhouse Rest Home is a 17th-century building featuring timber framing encased in red brick, which has been painted, and topped with a modern clay tile roof. The ground-floor layout of the original house largely remains intact, although a partition has been added on the north side of the east room to create a corridor. At the rear, there is an outshut, while the attic has been divided into bedrooms and bathrooms.

The building stands one storey high with an attic and has a pitched roof that was originally half-hipped at the east end. The front elevation faces north and includes a plat band and an early to mid-19th century tripartite sash window with glazing bars. The porch features an early 19th-century six-panelled door and a narrow sash window on the upper floor. A front wing, which obscured the eastern bay of the original house, has mostly been incorporated into a 1987 extension. The rear roof slopes have large modern dormers.

Inside, the east and west rooms showcase deep-chamfered axial beams with stops that have elongated steps and runouts, along with exposed joists—those in the west room are chamfered, some featuring runout stops, and there are fireplace bressumers. An exposed post can be seen in the north wall of the east room, now part of the corridor. The rear south-west room displays square framing on the north and west walls and has exposed joists; its main beam is chamfered with stops carved in a raised pyramidal moulding. A substantial brick fireplace includes a bressumer and a niche on the left side, which may have been a former bread oven. In an attic bedroom, the truss of the eastern gable is partially visible, though it is unclear how much of the roof structure still exists.
