Description
Jefferies Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 18th century and early 20th century. The building features a timber frame, squared rubble, brick, weatherboard, and tile hung cladding, topped by a plain tile half hipped and gabled roof, which includes a gabled dormer and two brick stacks. It stands two storeys high with an attic.
The oldest part of the farmhouse is a 17th-century, two-unit, timber-framed cottage with a lobby entry, accompanied by a 17th-century timber-framed rear wing that has brick infill panels, likely added later. In the 18th century, the front range was underbuilt in rubble, with a rubble lean-to added against the entry side, featuring a cat-slide roof. The first floor has later weatherboard cladding at the south end and tile hung cladding at the north end.
An early 20th-century brick block, painted white, has been added at the angle of the main range and wing, projecting to the north side. This block includes the main entrance to the house, which is accessed through a recessed arched porch on the left, next to a 3-light casement window with an upper transom on the right. On the first floor above, there is a 3-light casement to the right and a single light casement above the porch. On the north end of the main range, there is a 4-light casement on the ground floor, a 3-light casement on the first floor, and a 2-light casement in the attic.
The east front features a lean-to with a central door that has a glazed upper panel, flanked by late 20th-century casement windows, with the right-hand window situated under an original timber lintel. On the south side, there is a 4-light casement at the end of the main range and a similar window on the ground floor of the wing, both with glazing bars. Above, there is a large late 20th-century 2-light casement on the first floor of the range, along with a small casement to the left. The wing has a gabled dormer.
Internally, there is a central stack located behind the original lobby entry. The interior has not been inspected but is believed to contain exposed beams and posts.
