Culmer Farm House

Culmer Farm House is a house that dates back to the early 16th century. It was extended and remodeled by architect W.D. Caröe in the early 20th century, with further extensions added to the rear later in the 20th century. The house features a timber frame, with the front and rear center walls replaced by coursed and galletted sandstone blocks. The right side has sandstone rubble cladding, while the left side at ground level is clad in brick, beneath a tile-hung first floor, some of which is in a fishscale pattern. The first floor is tile-hung over sandstone on the right-hand return front. The early 20th-century roof at the front is hipped with end gablets, and the rear wing has a plain tiled gable roof.

The house has an L-shaped plan with a four-bay hall house at the front, where the center bays have been significantly remodeled. The house is two storeys high and features a large, four-square early 20th-century multiple stack to the left of center, as well as an older 17th-century stack at the rear right. The windows are wood-framed leaded casements, with four windows across each floor, including a square bay on the ground floor to the left. The door is now located on the left-hand return front in a porch recess at the end of an "arbour."

At the rear, there are brick quoins at the ends and tiled offsets to the stack. Some of the frame is exposed on the first floor to the left, with two windows in the first floor of the right wing and continuous ground floor fenestration below.

Inside, there is a considerable amount of exposed framing, including the old exterior wall, which is preserved inside at the rear left. The ground floor right features very heavy ceiling joists and a moulded dais beam at the center, which was likely moved during remodeling. There is a deep fireplace flanked by a salt cupboard. The roof structure on the first floor is exposed and may have been reconstructed, featuring a central octagonal crown post with "girdle" moulding and a square plinth with "gabled" sides. The outer crown posts are plain, all braced, and the main posts in the center bay are jowled with arched bracing and diagonal ties at the ends. The house is set within an early 20th-century garden that was laid out at the time of the remodeling.
