Dene Farmhouse

Dene Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century, which was altered and extended in 1904. It features a timber frame with red brick infill at the base and plaster on the first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building consists of four framed bays and is two storeys high, with a continuous jetty supported by brackets and a moulded bressumer. The roof is hipped and has a cluster of stacks to the centre right, with an additional stack and gable to the left. On the first floor, there are five wooden casements with alternating three and two lights, while the ground floor has four wooden casements with four and two lights, along with a rib and stud door located to the centre left. To the left, there is a single-storey extension built in 1904 using re-used bricks, and an early 20th-century extension at the rear. Dene Farmhouse was originally built as the steward's house for the now-demolished Dene House, which was the seat of the Oxenden family until 1775.
