Description

Box Farmhouse is a house dating from the 18th century, with significant early 19th-century features. It is constructed of brick and some flint, topped with a hipped shingle roof added in the 20th century. The north front is symmetrical, featuring two storeys and three windows, with a smaller, older, and irregular attachment on the east side that includes a fragment of exposed framing and upper walls made of flint and brick. The brickwork displays dentil eaves, Flemish bond with blue headers, and cambered openings on the ground floor, along with a plinth. The windows are casements, and there is a two-storeyed splayed bay in the centre, which has Victorian sashes in the lower lights. The main entrance consists of a six-panelled door, four of which are glazed, set in a plain frame with a hood supported by carved brackets. The south elevation mirrors the north, featuring a boarded door and another six-panelled door with a large moulded canopy on 20th-century wrought-iron brackets. Additionally, there is a single-storeyed service block extending to the south from the east end.
