Description
Rabbit Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse located on Goudhurst Road in Staplehurst. The building features a timber frame with a brick ground floor and a first floor finished with banded plain and fishscale tiles, topped by a plain tile roof. It has two timber-framed bays and a central stack bay, standing two storeys high with a garret. The roof is half-hipped with gablets, and there is a brick ridge stack positioned towards the centre. The windows are irregularly arranged, consisting of three two-light casements. A boarded door is set in a lean-to brick porch located under the stack. The south side of the stack is marked with a dated brick, indicating "J M 1720."
Inside, the farmhouse retains exposed framing, including a significant amount of reused timber from the 16th century or earlier. There is a brick fireplace featuring a chamfered bressumer and a staggered butt purlin roof. The building was formerly known as Rabbit Farm.
