Description
Swain's is an L-shaped farmhouse, dating from the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber-framed structure with plaster and red brick infilling, topped by a Horsham slab roof. A crow-stepped chimney breast is located in the center of the front. The windows are casement style with diamond-shaped panes. At the back, there is a three-storeyed porch with a gable above it. A modern addition is present at the south end, and the east wing is entirely made of red brick, which is a later addition.
