Description
Grace's Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early to mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and an extension added in the 19th century. The building is constructed of colourwashed rubble with brick dressings and features an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. It has a two-unit plan with a double rear wing that has been extended. The farmhouse is two storeys high, plus attics, and has a three-window front that includes 18th and 19th-century windows, but no entrance. The current entrance is located in the double-gabled return to the left, which contains a canted bay window that is a 19th-century addition to the original L-plan. The rear of the building features an earlier rear wing with an M-shaped roof. The main range's roof has a large central stack with renewed shafts.
Inside, the central stack has five brick fireplaces, three of which have Tudor arches set in chamfered rectangular recesses. The fireplaces on the first floor have panelled overmantels with brick cornices. The open-well staircase in the rear wing has pierced splat balusters, knob finials, pendants, and a roll-moulded handrail. The original part of the main roof includes an arch-braced collar truss, two rows of butt purlins, and three rows of wind braces (two above and one below the purlins). There are also some 17th-century panelled doors, one of which is dated 1655, two corbels dated 1663, and a beam featuring double-ovolo moulding.
