Description
The Old Farmhouse is a house dating from 1698, which incorporates parts of an earlier structure. It features a combination of timber framing and chequered brick cladding, along with sections of structural chequered red and blue brick. The roof is plain tiled and hipped. The building consists of two parallel ranges and stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a plat band and box eaves beneath the roof, which has a large stack at the rear center. The windows are regularly arranged, with three glazing bar sashes in box surrounds on the first floor and two on the ground floor, both featuring segmental heads. The central door has five raised and fielded panels, topped with a rectangular fanlight and a hipped hood supported by brackets. To the right, there is a one-storey gabled extension. Inside, there are cellars and remnants of the timber frame from the earlier building, along with two newel staircases. A brick to the right of the doorway is dated 1698.
