Description

Honeywood Farmhouse is a 15th-century farmhouse that has been altered in the 17th and 19th centuries. It is timber-framed with a rendered ground floor, a tile-hung first floor, and a plain tile roof. The right gable end has widely spaced timbers with brick infilling. The house originally had a two-bay open hall with a storeyed end bay to the right, and formerly also to the left. It is two storeys high on a plinth, with a jettied right end and a steeply pitched hipped roof. A brick stack is located in the front slope of the roof, off-centre to the left. The windows are irregularly placed and consist of three two-light casements. A 20th-century glazed door is set within a 20th-century brick lean-to porch located beneath the stack. Inside, a moulded crown-post sits on a moulded cambered tie-beam with braces and a fillet. The posts are heavily jowled, and a moulded end-of-hall beam is located at the left end, with evidence of a former door facing the front. A first-floor room to the right was used as a granary in the early 20th century. Exposed timbers are visible throughout the interior.
