Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse, formerly known as Manor Farm House, is a house that may have late-medieval origins, originally designed as a timber-framed hall with a two-storeyed cross wing at the east end. The oldest parts of the building date to around 1600, with later recladding in the late 18th century and a rear extension that was raised to two storeys in the late 19th century. The walls are constructed of brickwork in English bond, with some sections in Flemish bond, featuring cambered arches and rubbed flat arches. The base of the rear wall is made of massive roughly-coursed stonework. The roof is tiled with brick dentil eaves.

The symmetrical south front of the house is two storeys high and has three windows. There is a single-storeyed west wing added in the 20th century with one window, and a lower two-storeyed east wing with one window. The windows are sashes in exposed frames, while the ground-floor wings have casements, and other elevations feature various window styles. The entrance includes a six-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, set within a plain frame and sheltered by a simple open porch, which is obscured by a clipped yew surround.

Inside, the house displays early and late framing, a Tudor doorway, a 17th-century fireplace, and remnants of a gable that suggest the presence of a cross wing. The rear of the house is lower and narrower, forming a double pile, with walls indicating that the current two-storey structure was once single-storeyed beneath a catslide roof. The stone used in construction was quarried from a nearby monastic site.
