Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a mid-15th century farmhouse with a 16th century cross-wing added to the rear, and a 19th century front. The building is cruck-framed, with rendered walls, likely on brick, and has an old plain-tile roof. A large brick ridge stack is located to the left, and a brick lateral stack to the left. The layout is an L-complex.

It is a single-storey and attic building, originally with a two-window front. A plank door is centrally positioned, with an open lean-to porch. There’s a three-light casement to the right, a three-light wood-mullioned and transomed window to the right, a three-light casement to the cross-gable to the right, and a 16-pane sash to the cross-gable to the left.

The left return shows 19th century brickwork on the right, 16th century large timber-framing to the left, rendered infill to the ground floor, and herringbone pattern brick infill to the first floor. One-window range to the right and a two-storey, two-window range to the left, with irregular casement windows to the left. There is a jettied first floor to the left and to the rear.

Inside, a cruck truss is visible to the left, and the rear has a queen post roof. The ground floor contains open fireplaces, and the interior is characterised by extensive beaming. A cruck was radio-carbon dated to approximately 1445.
