Description
Cole Farm is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with cladding from the 18th century. It features a timber frame covered with red and blue brick, and tile hanging on the return elevation, topped by a plain tiled roof. Originally designed as a hall house, it has one storey and an attic, along with a two-storeyed end bay. The building has a plinth, a hipped roof with prominent gablets, especially on the right side, and a central stack with a moulded cap, along with a projecting stack at the right end.
The façade includes two hipped half-dormers with three-light wooden casements, and a smaller three-light wooden casement to the right on the first floor. The ground floor features three segmentally headed three-light wooden casements, with the right one being smaller and set at a lower level. There is a four-panel door located to the centre left, sheltered by a wooden porch with valancing. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot with three stacks, hipped and gabled dormers, a boarded door, and casement windows on the ground floor. The interior is largely characterized by 19th-century decorative elements, with no older features easily visible.
