Tripps Farmhouse

Tripps Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 17th century and was remodeled in the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of thin-coursed rubble and has a plain tile roof, which was originally thatched. The building has two storeys with a loft and consists of three cells, featuring five first-floor windows and a continuous, storeyed rear outshut. Most of the windows are wood-mullioned with timber lintels and small-pane leaded casements.

The garden front of the farmhouse has a central cell with a six-panel door (the top two panels are glazed) located in an added, gabled brick porch, which is not of special interest. To the left of the door are windows with four lights, and to the right, there are three-light windows. Above, there are three, two, and three-light windows. A later two-light window is positioned at the far right, while the window above and those on each floor at the left end are concealed by ivy. The roof is half-hipped and features large ridge stacks between the central and outer cells, all of which are covered in ivy.

At the rear, the outshut has a cat-slide roof and includes a door on the right and four windows. Two of these are small-pane casements dating from around 1985, while the outer windows are three-light, with the left one having chamfered mullions. There is a gabled two-light casement dormer situated between the second and third windows. The left return has two ground-floor windows, one of which is blocked, and one first-floor window. The right return features a central boarded door under a corrugated-iron hood, which is not of special interest, with a three-light window to the left, a 1985 casement to the right, and a two-light window on the first floor to the right.

Inside, the central ground-floor room includes an inglenook with a deep, stop-chamfered bressumer and a seat on the right. Both this room and the one above have massive cross-beams with deep chamfers and lamb's tongue stops. There are also other chamfered beams and some wide floorboards. The outshut end rooms and the front right ground-floor room have stanchions for the windows. The roof features collared principal rafter trusses set on a wall plate, trenched purlins, a diagonally-set ridge piece, and square-section rafters.
