Description
The Old Farmhouse, formerly known as Sandling Place Farm, is a 15th-century timber-framed and studded farmhouse comprising a central section and two wings. The first floor of the wings projects on protruding floor joists and brackets. Curved braces are visible on the first floor of the wings, and support the eaves of the central portion. The roof is tiled and hipped. Casement windows are present, alongside a four-centred doorway with a moulded lintel.
