Description
Finn Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, which was altered and refronted in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with further changes made in the 19th century. The building is timber-framed, with the front clad in red brick laid in Flemish bond from the early 18th century. It has a plain tile roof that is hipped with gablets and features a central brick ridge stack. The house has two storeys and attics, with two hipped dormers. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of two 3-light 19th-century casements and one central early 18th-century 2-light leaded casement set in a lightly-moulded wooden architrave. The ground floor windows are 19th-century with segmental heads. A central panelled door is located beneath a flat corniced hood. There are red brick lean-tos that are integral with the front elevation and a central rear stair turret. Inside, the house features exposed timbers and a clasped-purlin roof with re-used members, as well as clasped purlin roofs in the lean-tos. A rear lean-to was demolished in the 1970s.
