The Farmhouse Public House

The Farmhouse Public House is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a public house. It dates from the mid-17th century and features a three-bay design with a central chimney. The building was refronted in the late 18th century and has a late 17th-century outshut at the rear, along with a 19th-century crosswing to the east. The structure is timber-framed and refronted in red brick with grey headers on the ground floor, while the upper part is tile-hung. The roof is plaintiled and has an off-central chimneystack to the left, with a projecting crosswing of one bay to the east. The building has two storeys and attics in the gable end, with four windows. The ground floor features 20th-century triple casements, and the windows have cambered heads. There is a 20th-century gabled porch and three large tiled gables on the rear elevation. Inside, the central bay has an axial beam with run-out stops and a wooden bressumer. The room to the west, originally the parlour, retains a cambered wooden fireplace and an adjoining plank door with an L-hinge that conceals a winder staircase. The first recorded mention of this building is in the Hearth Tax Records from 1664.
