Iden Farmhouse

Iden Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed, with the front elevation featuring a chequered pattern of red and grey brick and a plain tile roof. It has a lobby entry plan consisting of approximately four timber-framed bays, with a two-bay principal room located to the left of the stack. The bay or bays to the right of the stack have been largely rebuilt in the 18th century. The farmhouse stands two storeys high, with a garret and cellar on a low stone plinth, and features a plat band and a half-hipped roof.

There is a projecting brick stack with a galleted stone base on the left gable end, and a brick ridge stack positioned to the right of the centre. A small hipped two-light dormer is present. The fenestration is irregular, with six wooden casements in altered openings; three three-light casements to the left of the stack, one two-light casement under the stack, and two three-light casements to the right. The ground floor includes three casements with segmental relieving arches. A ribbed door is set in a rectangular brick porch with a hipped roof located under the stack.

To the left, there is a rear return wing, likely from the 18th century, made of chequered red and grey brick with a galleted stone gable end. This wing is two storeys high with a garret, a plat band, a half-hipped roof, and a gable-end lean-to. A similar rear return wing is present to the right, with a rear lean-to located at the centre. Inside, the principal ground-floor room features ovolo-moulded cross and axial beams. The fireplace in this room has chamfered tooled stone jambs and a wooden bressumer, while the ground-floor room to the right has a painted unchamfered brick fireplace. The roof has staggered butt purlins and a small quantity of exposed framing.
