Smithwood Farm House

Smithwood Farm House is a former hall house dating from the late 15th century and early 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and 19th century. The building is timber framed with red brick infilling, and features red/brown brick cladding on the right-hand gable and the center gable. It has plain tiled roofs, half-hipped to the right with a gablet. The house has a double L-shaped plan and consists of two storeys, with a larger projecting cross wing at the left end and a smaller gable that is flush with the main elevation on the right, along with another gable to the right of center.

There are paired offset end stacks on the left, a multiple inserted stack to the right of center, and a front offset stack to the right of the middle gable with a conical top. The windows are diamond-pane leaded casements, with one window on each floor of the left-hand gable, a tile pentice over the ground floor, and one leaded window on each floor of the remaining gables. The ground floor windows have cambered heads. There is a three-light window on the first floor between the two gables on the left and a two-light window on the first floor to the right. A five-light window under a moulded lintel is located on the ground floor to the left.

A plank door is situated on the left-hand return front of the center gable, and there is a 20th-century porch range across between the two gables with brick plinth walls. Another door is found in the pentice across the right-hand return front. The rear features a hipped roof and a gablet wing at right angles to the center, with some close stud framing and rendered infill. The rear frame includes jowled posts. Inside, there are good ceiling frames and partition walls, with some surviving panelling and deep fireplaces.
