Description
Vexour Farmhouse is a substantial timber-framed building dating to the 16th century. It is two storeys high with a four-window front, exhibiting an irregular layout. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, with a half-hipped section on the right and two returned gable ends on the left, the inner one being smaller. The first floor is tile hung, while the ground floor displays visible timber framing with brick infill. The windows are primarily 19th-century and modern one-bar casements. Inside, exposed timbers and old plank floors are visible on the side. An unusual addition is present on the left return: a modern seven-bay facade in the Georgian style, featuring sash windows and an entrance porch. At the rear of the building is a 19th-century trellised verandah.
