Description
Rugmer Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early to mid-17th century and features a 19th-century facade along with a mid to late 20th-century addition. The structure is timber-framed, with the ground floor displaying red brick in stretcher bond on the left end, weatherboarding in the center, and red brick in Flemish bond on the right. The right gable end shows broadly spaced studding with stretcher bond infilling. The first floor is tile-hung, and the roof is covered with plain tiles. The building consists of two timber-framed bays and a central stack bay, with a single-bay addition to the left. It has two storeys and a garret, with a brick plinth on the left end and a combination of stone and brick on the rest. The roof is half-hipped with gablets and features a multiple brick stack to the right of center. The fenestration is irregular, consisting of three small two-light casements—one near each end and one to the left of center. There are boarded doors towards the rear of the left gable end and another on the right gable end, along with a rear lean-to.
Inside, the farmhouse retains exposed framing, with chamfered axial beams on both the ground and first floors. The first floor includes tension braces to the front wall and partitions. There are blocked four-light diamond mullion windows in the front of the left bay and a similar three-light window on the right. The roof features clasped purlins with diminishing principal rafters, vertical queen struts at the gable ends, and curved windbraces. The wall plate has an edge-halved scarf joint, and the floors are made of broad floorboards. The building is marked as Rugmore Farm on the Ordnance Survey map.
