Bailiffs Cottage, Harefield Farm

Bailiff's Cottage at Harefield Farm is a house dating from the 15th century, with extensions and cladding added in the 17th to 18th centuries. The building features a timber frame covered with painted brick and has a plain tiled roof. It has an open hall house plan and stands two storeys high on a discontinuous plinth. The roof is hipped, with a stepped eaves line and a lower pitch on the right side. There are brick stacks to the centre left, which are truncated at the end right and constructed in English bond brickwork, though they are now partially enclosed by the 18th-century re-cladding of the walls. The cottage has irregular fenestration, with four wooden casements on each floor; the ground floor windows have segmental heads, and the window to the centre left is attached to a half-glazed door. Inside, the frame rests on flint foundations, and there is a crown post roof with solid moulded knees supporting the tie beams.
