Description

Cherry Gardens Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was formerly two cottages. It dates from the 17th century or earlier, with a 19th-century facade. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor of the front elevation clad in red brick laid in Flemish bond and the first floor tile-hung. The gable ends are made of stone on the ground floor, and the roof is covered with plain tiles. The farmhouse is two storeys high and sits on a plinth. The roof is hipped, featuring a gablet on the left side and a half-hipped end on the right. There is a projecting brick stack on the left gable end and a ridge stack to the left of the center. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of four openings: three 2-light casements and one fixed light. A boarded door is located up two steps beneath the stack, and there is a blocked doorway towards the right end. To the left, there is a 19th-century lean-to, and at the rear, there is a lean-to with a central two-storey turret. The interior has not been inspected.
