Description

School Farm is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century or earlier. The building features a timber frame and was refronted in the 19th century, with windows updated in the 20th century. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, while the first floor is tile hung. It has a steeply pitched tiled roof with a central brick chimney stack. The house stands two storeys high and has three windows, which are 20th-century casements. There are also two 20th-century bays on the ground floor. The central entrance has a doorcase with a panelled 20th-century door and a tiled hood above.
