Baglake Farmhouse And Attached Wall To East For 26 Metres

Baglake Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with the south block completely refashioned in the early 18th century under the ownership of William Light. The building features coursed, squared rubble-stone walls with stone dressings and a plain clay tile roof with gable ends. The stone gable copings are adorned with scroll kneelers, and there are 19th-century brick stacks at the gable ends and on the ridge to the right of the center. The south block has three parallel rear wings that show evidence of 17th-century construction.

The south elevation is two storeys high with attics and has seven windows, which are sashes with thin glazing bars set in recessed frames, and stone cills. The upper central window has a segmental head. The east gable wall features a single rectangular light with a small plank door. The front door, located at the center, has six fielded panels and is a 20th-century addition. It is framed by a rusticated concrete architrave, also from the 20th century, and has a wooden canopy supported by large scrolled brackets in the 18th-century style.

The east wing of the rear has a dentil brick cornice from the 18th century. The rear wall includes two cross-transom mullion windows with hollow chamfers from the 17th century, which may have been reset, and 20th-century metal casements with lozenge leaded lights. The central wing has the same type of windows, while the west wing features brickwork dating from around 1800.

Inside, the south block consists of three rooms in width with a large central hall that has flagged flooring. The ceiling beams are roughly adzed. The two front rooms are finished with complete bolection-moulded and fielded panelling, and there is an integral alcove to the left of center with shutters. The fireplace is surrounded by an egg-and-dart motif over a fielded panel. Fielded-panel window shutters are present in both the ground and first-floor rooms, which also have window seats.

To the east of the house, there is an attached boundary wall made of a rubble-stone base and a chalk cob wall topped with thatch coping. The door into the garden features a plank and slatted design with a wooden lintel above.
