Description

Walnut Tree Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with later additions. It features a timber-framed structure with a weatherboarded ground floor, a rendered first floor, and a plain tile roof. The right end bay is tile-hung, while the left gable end facing the road has a brick ground floor and is tile-hung above. The house is positioned at right angles to the road and has a lobby-entry plan consisting of two timber-framed bays, with a third bay added shortly after to the right and a 19th-century bay at the far right. It stands two storeys tall and has a brick plinth on the left gable, along with a slight continuous jetty on the two left bays, which steps up slightly in the next bay to the right and is discontinued in the 19th-century bay. A multiple ridge stack with a corbelled top is located off-centre to the left. The fenestration is irregular, featuring three 2-light casements on the first floor: one beneath the stack, one to the right of it, and a deeper one towards the right end of the rendered section. There is a single casement in the right tile-hung section, and a plain door is located beneath the stack. The roof was re-roofed in the 19th century.
