Odstone Farmhouse

Odstone Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1700. It features a rendered front with limestone quoins and dressings, while the sides and rear are constructed from chalk and sarsen rubble. The building has a stone slate roof and brick stacks. It has a double pile plan, is two stories high with a cellar and attic, and has a five-window range. The central 20th-century seven-panel door is framed by a stone roll-moulded architrave. The windows include late 19th-century two-light sashes and a moulded plinth, a string at floor level, and a moulded cornice. At the rear, there are late 20th-century two-light casements, as well as an original four-light window on the first floor to the right. A side entry features a door with a moulded architrave and a flat hood supported by curved brackets above a mid-19th-century four-panel door. The roof is hipped, with symmetrical end stacks and lateral stacks.

Inside, the farmhouse retains original two-panelled and ledged doors. The staircase in the central passage provides access to the cellar and side entry, featuring dog-leg stairs with a landing, square newels, and closed-string construction, with turned balusters that match those at Ashdown House, which dates to around 1662. At the rear is a single-storey back kitchen from around 1700, built of sarsen and chalk uncoursed rubble with chalk quoins and a stone slate roof. It has one door and one window range. The interior includes a slate flag floor and a nearly complete washing and baking range from around 1700, featuring a bakeoven, smoking box, salt box, and a segmental arch over the fireplace with the original swing bar, along with steps leading to a washing copper illuminated by a gable dormer. There is also a 20th-century concrete block lean-to against the east wall. The farm was part of the Craven Estate, which explains the similarity of the staircase to that found at Ashdown House.
