Description
Roke Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been altered in the 20th century and is now used as a house. The building features rendered timber framing, with some parts rebuilt in brick and clunch rubble. It has an old plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack and is designed in an L-plan. The structure has one storey plus attics. The front of the farmhouse includes an entrance at the angle with a projecting wing to the right. The front walls of both ranges have been rebuilt, but the wing features a dormer with moulded barge boards, and its gable wall is likely timber framed. To the left of the main range, there is a lower rubble bay that contains a 2-light casement window and a 3-light gabled dormer. The end gable of this bay includes a brick 2-row dovecote and a timber framed gable below a half hip. The rear wall of the main range is probably timber framed as well, and both ranges have ridge stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
