Description
Farthing Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 15th century or earlier. It is timber framed, featuring exposed studding with plaster infilling, and consists of four timber framed bays. The building has an open hall of two bays, with a storeyed bay at each end, and stands two storeys high on a rendered plinth. The studding is broadly spaced, and there are arch braces present. The gable ends are jettied, with the left end underbuilt. The roof is hipped, and there is a projecting stack with a stone base on the rear wall of the left end bay, along with a brick ridge stack towards the right end of the right hall bay. The windows are arranged irregularly and include one four-light diamond mullion window in the left end bay, one two-light and one single-light casement in the left hall bay, and one two-light window in the right end bay. There are blocked durns beneath the stack, and a boarded door is located at the centre of the left hall bay. The interior has not been inspected.
