Description
Townsend Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with an early 19th-century service range and an earlier core. It is constructed of brick in a header bond and has an old plain tile roof. The main block is two storeys and five bays wide, with wings to the rear and a lower two-storey, four-bay wing to the left. The central doorway features a six-panel door and a transom fanlight with a radiating glazing bar, set within a doorcase of Doric pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment. There are nine 12-pane sash windows with rubbed brick arches. A moulded timber eaves cornice runs along the top. External brick stacks are located at each end of the building. A low, four-bay early 19th-century range is attached to the right, with a four-panel door and three segmental-headed casements. On the first floor of this range are three two-light cast iron casements. The interior of the house may be of interest.
