Description

Guesses Farmhouse comprises two distinct sections. The rear portion, likely dating from the 17th century or earlier, is now faced with red brick and has a roof of Horsham slabs. It is L-shaped. Casement windows are present. A parallel wing was added in the early 19th century to the front, finished with a cement render and featuring a hipped slate roof. This front wing has intact glazing bars in its windows and extends for three windows across two storeys.
