Description
Northiam Farm Cottages is a pair of houses dating from the 17th century. They are timber framed and feature exposed timber with painted brick infill on the ground floor, while the first floor is tile hung, topped with a plain tiled roof. The cottages have a two-cell lobby entry plan and stand two storeys high with a garret on a plinth. The ground floor showcases small panel framing and the roof is half-hipped with a central stack. Each cottage has two three-light wooden casements on the ground and first floors, with a central two-light casement on the first floor and a central panelled door on the ground floor. There are boarded doors on the return elevations and a catslide outshot at the rear.
