Bletchingly Farmhouse

Bletchingly Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th century or early 17th century, featuring a facade that was updated in the early to mid-19th century and underwent alterations around 1911. The facade is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and sits on a chamfered brick plinth, with a gabled design. There is a projecting brick stack on the left gable end and a late 16th century or early 17th century red and grey brick stack in English bond on the right side of the rear left wing, which has three star-shaped brick flues set on a broad shouldered and moulded brick plinth. A tall brick stack is located to the right of the centre. The front features a regular arrangement of four windows, consisting of recessed 12-pane sashes with cambered heads. There is one similar sash at the left end of the ground floor and two tripartite sashes, also with cambered heads. A single-storey brick porch, built around 1911, is located beneath the second window from the right, featuring a plain parapet with moulded painted coping and clasping pilasters with ball finials that rise just above the parapet. The porch has a panelled door with a cambered head, flanked by two paned lights. To the left, there is a short rear return wing that was extended around 1911, and to the right, a short gabled rear wing from the same period. The interior has not been inspected.
