Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 15th century, with early 18th-century and 19th-century alterations. The building features colourwashed English bond brick, with the left bay being timber framed, and has a thatched roof. It is a single storey and upper floor structure with four bays. Originally, it was a minimum open hall house with three bays, but only the left bay remains due to extensive rebuilding and heightening in the 18th century, along with a right extension added in the 19th century.

The central living room, which is part of the former hall, incorporates the second bay. An early 19th-century stone bay with brick quoins has been added to the right, which includes a passage with an entrance featuring a half-glazed, four-panelled door and a rustic porch. The house has two and three-light windows from the late 19th to early 20th century, as well as three paned flush dormers. There are three brick stacks and a single storey flat-roofed addition from the 20th century along the entire rear.

Inside, three cruck framed trusses from the original structure remain, with only the left cruck surviving to the apex. This is a variant of type C, featuring a yoke that is trenched in and twice pegged, supporting a diagonal ridge clasped between the unconnected tops of the crucks. The infilling is made of wattle and daub, which is smoke blackened on the hall side. The living room displays bar chamfer stops on the crossed beams and a bressumer in front of an inserted brick stack, which may be part of the earlier timber framed structure.
