Baker'S Farmhouse

Baker's Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1400, with extensions made in the mid-16th century. It features a timber frame with some exposed close-studding and plaster infill, while the ground floor has been partially refaced with red brick. The first floor is tile hung, and the building has a plain tiled roof. It is designed as a hall house with a rear wing and a cross-wing, standing two storeys tall, with eaves that drop to the first floor, revealing the close-studding behind. The roof is hipped, with a projecting hipped wing on the right side. There are chimney stacks that project at both ends and are clustered towards the centre right.

On the first floor, there are two three-light leaded wooden casements, while the ground floor features a four-light casement to the right and both four-light and five-light casements, along with a central 16th-century brick bay that has four-light mullioned and transomed leaded lights. The doors are ribbed plank and shed doors set in moulded surrounds, located to the centre right and at the end right. A 20th-century outshot is present at the end left. The duplication of main posts in the re-entrant between the hall range and the cross-wing indicates the two periods of construction.

Inside, the hall has inserted moulded wall posts and a cross-beamed ceiling, along with small panelled framed dividing walls. There are large inglenook fireplaces made of stone and red brick. The cross-wing features high-quality ovolos and fillet moulded mullioned windows with sidelights on both the ground and first floors, which are fully exposed on the right return elevation. The main tie beam of the hall has massive hollow chamfered knee braces, and the cross-wing has a roof with clasped purlins and windbraces.
