Description
Bowley Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century or earlier. It is timber framed and both storeys are hung with fish-scale tiles. The building has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high with attics on a stone plinth. It features a steeply pitched hipped roof with gablets, a projecting stack at the left end, and a multiple brick ridge stack on the front slope of the roof, which is off-centre to the right. The farmhouse has four hipped dormers and an irregular arrangement of windows, consisting of four casements—three with three lights and one with two lights located under the stack, all featuring top lights. There is a half-glazed door set in a small gabled timber-framed porch beneath the stack. To the right, there is a lean-to covered with fish-scale tiles and a small stack. The interior has not been inspected.
