Description

Street Farm House is a cottage row dating from the 16th century, with cladding added in the 17th to 19th centuries. It features a timber frame that is exposed in parts, with plaster infill, and is partially clad with flint and red brick on the left return front. The building has a plain tile roof. The street-facing side has two storeys and a close-studded frame with a deep first-floor jetty supported by brackets. The roof is hipped, with a return hip and gablet on the right, and a stack also on the right. The fenestration is irregular, with three wooden casements on each floor, a half-door at the left end, and a boarded door in the center left. To the right, there is an 18th-century extension made of red brick with a plain tile roof, which includes one wooden casement and a hatch.

On the left return front, there is a long timber-framed range of two storeys with various projections and roofs. The right side features a one-bay brick ground floor with plaster above, while to the left is an 18th-century chequered brick section with a plat band, three wooden casements, and a central boarded door. Further left, there is a one-bay exposed frame that is close-studded with brick nogging, underbuilt with flint and dressed stone. This is followed by a three-bay section with exposed close studding, plaster infill, and arched bracing. The left end projects with a two-bay section clad in 20th-century red brick. Historian Igglesden suggests that this range may be linked to a medieval cell of Leeds Priory, and the flint and stone section on the left return front may date back to medieval times.
