Finglesham Farmhouse

Finglesham Farmhouse is a house with an early 19th-century front and a mid-17th-century rear wing. The front elevation is of white brick, with red brick to the side elevations and rear wing, and features a slate roof to the front and plain tiled roof to the rear. It is constructed as two parallel ranges. The front has two storeys, with a rendered cornice to the parapet and a brick pediment over the entire facade. A stack is positioned centrally to the left. The windows are regularly spaced, with three glazing bar sashes on the first floor and two tripartite glazing bar sashes on the ground floor, all set in segmented arched recesses. A central glazed door leads to a panelled interior door and porch, featuring a traceried fanlight, reeded door surround, and Doric porch. The return elevations include basement openings and gauged heads above glazing bar sashes. The rear wing has a mid-17th-century Dutch gable and an end stack. In 1669, the house was the residence of Valentine Parker, a gentleman of local note, who was likely the builder of the rear wing.
