Description
The Old Farm is a substantial 16th-century farmhouse located on Scabharbour Road in Sevenoaks Weald. It has two storeys and features four windows on the main front. The building is topped with a high-pitched tiled roof that is half hipped at the right side. There are two tall brick chimney stacks, which may date from the early 17th century. The first floor is tile hung, while the ground floor displays visible timber framing with brick filling. The windows include some 18th-century iron casements, along with 19th-century and modern square paned casements.
On the left side, there is a small 1½ storey pent outshot that is timber framed with plaster filling, and the roof slopes very low at the back. A modern gabled dormer eyebrow window has been inserted. Inside, the farmhouse features a large inglenook fireplace beneath a flattened Tudor arched beam, as well as another smaller inglenook. There is also a half-octagonal brick fireplace upstairs, along with another blocked fireplace. The interior includes many heavy chamfered beams and old floors, an old window with diagonal wood mullions, and an old newel staircase leading to the attic, where the side-purlin roof is supported by wind braces.
