Description

Plumpton Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with significant extensions added in the 17th century. The farmhouse features a timber-framed rear wing that is tile hung on a ragstone base, and this wing has been extended in red brick using an irregular Flemish bond. The roofs are plain tiled. The main block of the house has two storeys, standing on a plinth, with a plat band and a hipped roof that includes a large stack positioned to the centre right. On the first floor, there are four cross windows, while the ground floor has two segmentally headed sash windows and a half-glazed door to the right, which is topped by a flat hood. There is also a moulded panelled door located in the left return, set within a 20th-century flat-roofed porch. The rear wing retains elements of an earlier timber-framed building. Surrounding the farmhouse are garden walls made of red brick, approximately 5 feet high, partly built on an earlier base from the late 18th century, extending about 25 metres south of the house and returning along the road back to the house porch.
