Description
The Old Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse to the right, with an 18th-century addition to the left. The right-hand side has a rendered base and timber framing with herringbone pattern brick infill. The left-hand side is red brick with grey headers in a Flemish bond. The roof is old plain tiles with a catslide to the left, and there is a brick ridge stack in the centre and an end stack to the right. The farmhouse has a two-storey, two-window range on the right and a single-storey, attic single-window range to the left. A 20th-century door is located on the right return of the catslide. There are three-light wooden casements in all openings on the right. A 20th-century flat-roofed dormer is visible on the left. The interior was not inspected.
