Description
North Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely originated in the 17th century, with a main range added in the late 18th or early 19th century, possibly alongside contemporary farm buildings dated 1795. The main range is constructed of header-bond brickwork, while the rear wing is rendered. It features tiled roofs with end brick stacks and a central stack on the rear range. The main range is symmetrical, standing two storeys tall with three windows. The windows are sashes with glazing bars set under segmental brick arches, and the ground floor includes tripartite sashes. There is a later rectangular porch with a double glazed door. The rear wing displays irregular fenestration and has a heavy plank door.
