Description
Christmas Common Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse constructed from flint rubble with brick quoins and dressings, topped with an old tile roof. The building has an L-plan layout with a rear right wing and consists of two storeys and an attic, featuring a five-bay range. The entrance includes a 18th-century six-panelled door, two of which are glazed, set within an early 18th-century architrave adorned with carved brackets supporting a segmental hood. The windows are fitted with 20th-century two-light casements, and the first floor has flat arches over similar casements, along with a blocked window above the door. Roof dormers contain 20th-century casements, and the gabled roof is complemented by symmetrical end stacks. The rear wing is also two storeys high, with a two-window range made from similar materials and a gabled roof, along with a tile lean-to roof covering a brick dairy at the back.
Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered and stopped beams, timber-frame partitions, and six-panelled doors set in bolection-moulded architraves with pulvinated friezes. There is a four-panelled door leading to a cellar through a segmental-arched doorway. The central dog-leg staircase has a landing with a wreathed handrail and turned balusters on an open string, as well as a panelled dado. The landing is finished with a moulded cornice, and there are winder stairs leading to the original three-bay roof, which includes curved windbraces.
