Description
Bowles Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that was altered in the 19th century. It features a timber-frame structure with brick infill and rebuilding, topped with a thatched roof. The building is one and a half storeys high and has three bays, with the ground floor timber-frame replaced. The front of the farmhouse includes a planked door with a segmental head to the right of the left bay, and a 20th-century two-light leaded casement window next to a three-light casement window in the other bays. Above each bay, there are two-light casement windows in eyebrow dormers. The roof is half-hipped with a ridge piece, and there is a large ridge stack located immediately to the right of the door and on the right hip of the roof.
