Description

St Mary's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with remodelling in the 18th century. It features English bond brickwork and a tiled roof, with brick stacks at the ends of the original range. The building has two storeys and attics, with a three-window range and an additional bay on the left. The windows are two and three-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. There is a part-glazed plank door beneath a round hood.

Inside, there is an oak staircase that leads from the first floor to the attic. This staircase has closed strings, square newel-posts, moulded handrails, and flat balusters with a serpentine profile.
