Description
Place Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the early 16th century or earlier, with later alterations. It is timber framed, with the front elevation and right gable end constructed of red brick in Flemish bond. The rear elevation features exposed framing with plaster infilling, and the roof is covered with plain tiles. The building has two storeys and attics.
The front elevation is unevenly divided by full-height plain brick pilasters into narrow bays on the right and left ends, a narrow stack bay second from the left, and two equal-length bays towards the centre. The corners of the building have clasping pilasters. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with a multiple brick ridge stack located towards the left end. There is a gabled dormer and an irregular arrangement of five casement windows: one three-light window in each of the left end bay and the two central bays, and one two-light window in both the stack bay and the right end bay. The entrance features a boarded door with a flat hood, accessed by one step under the stack. The interior has not been inspected.
