Description

Old Water Farm House is a pair of houses that was originally a farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a 19th-century addition. The building is constructed of red and grey brick in English bond, with the right gable end being tile-hung, likely over brick. It has a plain tile roof and is positioned at right angles to the road, facing west. The structure is two storeys high and sits on a flint plinth.

There is a projecting brick stack with irregular offsets on the left gable end, and a tile-hung projecting brick gable-end stack on the right. The windows are arranged irregularly, featuring two sixteen-pane sashes in open boxes, each set within a wider blocked opening that shows the outline of a former mullioned and transomed window. On the ground floor to the left, there was previously a ten-light stone mullioned and transomed window. On the first floor towards the rear of the left gable end, there is a three-light chamfered brick ovolo-moulded mullion window.

The entrance to No. 1 is through a boarded door set in a moulded wooden architrave at the rear of the left gable end, with a blocked rectangular moulded brick window located between the door and the stack. The 19th-century addition at the rear is a two-storey range built in chequered red and grey brick, featuring two plat bands between the ground and first floors, a coved eaves cornice, and a lower ridge than the main range, with a hipped roof at the back. The front of the addition has a regular two-window arrangement of recessed two-light casements with top lights. The ground-floor sash window has narrow margin lights, a segmental head, and rubbed brick voussoirs. The entrance to No. 2 is a half-glazed door with a damfered rubbed brick basket-arched head. The interior has not been inspected.
