Sandling Farmhouse

Sandling Farmhouse is a house with early to mid 17th century origins, featuring alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a framed construction, with the ground floor built in Flemish bond brick and the first floor tile-hung. The roof is covered with peg tiles and has brick stacks.

The house faces south-southwest and has a three-room lobby entrance plan with a rear right wing. The main range includes an axial stack positioned to the right of center, and the house has been extended at the left end. The original lobby entrance has been replaced by a 20th-century entrance into the right end room, which has been modified to serve as an entrance hall containing the stair.

The building is two storeys high with a gabled roof at the left end. Both the left end and the axial stack feature 19th-century brick shafts with corbelled brick cornices. The south front is asymmetrical with four windows, three of which are on the first floor. It has a set of 20th-century three- and four-light casements with square leaded panes, and three of the ground floor windows have segmental arched heads. The right (east) side has a large 20th-century three-light stair window with a high transom and square leaded panes, along with one first and one ground floor 20th-century casement. There is a recessed porch to the left, and the crosswall visible inside the porch retains its framing, including large tension braces.

Inside, the farmhouse features exposed carpentry, including ceiling beams and jowled wall posts. The roof over the right (east) end of the house is constructed with side purlins.
