Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse of late 16th and early 17th century origin, with a later 17th century addition to the right and a rear block and rear wing added around 1887. Subsequent additions and alterations have also occurred. The farmhouse is constructed of limestone rubble, with a painted brick front. It has a double Roman tiled roof with gable stacks, and a pantiled rear wing. Originally arranged around a cross passage, this has been blocked by a 19th century addition, resulting in an L-shaped layout.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five windows. All the windows are 19th century casements, with two lights, except for the ground and first floors on the right side, which have three-light windows. The third bay from the left has a studded plank and batten door within a 19th century frame and is sheltered by a lead-canopied porch on a wooden frame. A single-storey stable is attached to the left, featuring two stable doors with timber lintels. A single-storey outhouse is attached to the right, containing a two-light casement. The left return side has a loading door to the stable. The rear elevation features a two-storey 19th century addition creating a two-span roof. It includes a six-pane sash window at the first floor of the left return, and two four-pane sashes at the first floor with segmental heads and brick surrounds. The ground floor has two two-light and one three-light casements. A lower two-storey rear wing has 20th century windows to each side and a raking dormer on the left return. A single-storey addition extends from the rear, with a gable end featuring raised coped verges and a stack; rear additions were likely originally single-storey only.

The interior has a wide passage/entry hall with a 19th century winder stair to the rear and a stud screen to the left. A room to the left has a large fireplace with stone jambs and a heavy lintel, and a moulded beam. The room to the right of the passage features a framed ceiling divided into six panels, with plain beams having very deep chamfers. A wall to the rear left, likely the site of the original stair, has been carved. A recess on the right wall may have once contained a door, with a door leading to the end room on the right. This room has beams with narrower chamfers and a wide fireplace with a 20th century lintel. Two bays of roof are visible to the right, featuring two principal rafters and arched-braces. Four bays to the left display principal rafters, two rows of purlins, and a ridge purlin.

Associated farm buildings, dated 1887, are not of special architectural value but are built in a similar style to the rear of the house.
