Description

The Old Farmhouse is an L-shaped timber-framed building that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It has two storeys and is now faced with red brick on the ground floor, while the upper part is finished with plaster. The east wing of the building is likely an addition built on a base of flints. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles. The windows are casement style, featuring small square leaded panes, with three windows facing west and two windows facing north. There is a simple doorcase at the entrance.
