Smezzle Farm

Smezzle Farm is a farmhouse, now a house, that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It has a timber frame, with the front elevation covered in pebbledash. The left gable end is built of red brick in Flemish bond on both floors, featuring a midrail that extends into a lean-to, a tension brace towards the front of the gable end, and the exposed end of the front wall-plate. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is steeply pitched with hipped sections and gablets. A multiflue red brick stack is located slightly left of center. The front has a regular arrangement of two windows, each with multipane three-light casements. The ground floor has similar windows with segmental heads, and there is a plain door with a segmental head located under the stack. To the right, there is a short two-storey pebbledashed rear return wing, and to the left, a rear lean-to features a single-storey pebbledashed section with a stack, positioned at right angles towards the left end. The interior has not been inspected. The building is marked on the Ordnance Survey map as Smersole.
