Description

Hares Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It has a timber frame and is clad in painted brick with tile hanging on the first floor. The roof is made of plain tiles and features a hipped design. The building stands two storeys tall and has a stack at the rear. On the front, there are two wood casement windows and a central 19th-century half-glazed door, which is topped with a hipped hood supported by brackets. To the right, there is a cellar opening. The farmhouse also has later brick wings added to the rear and the right side.
