Ham Farmhouse and Walls Attached

Ham Farmhouse is a house from the early 18th century that was extended in the early 19th century. It features painted brick and plain tiled roofs. Originally, it had a two-cell plan, which was extended by one bay to the right, and now includes a hipped L-shaped wing added to the rear. The house is two storeys tall, built on a plinth, with a parapet on the hipped roof and a central stack. There are three late 20th-century centre-hung casements on each floor, along with a half-glazed door to the centre left. To the left, there is a lean-to addition that has blocked openings in its return elevation. The rear of the house has metal casements. Inside, the original portion has brick-lined cellars and chamfered cross beams that reflect its 18th-century character. The lean-to was used as the pay office for brickfield workers in the 19th century. Attached to the main northern elevation are painted brick walls about four feet high, which are buttressed to the roadside and extend approximately 30 metres to the left and right, abutting a partly demolished farm building from probably the late 19th century. Ham Farm represents the detached marsh pasture of Copton Manor, which is listed, located several miles to the south in Preston.
