Description
Halstead Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of brick in English bond, with Flemish bond used on the front, featuring flush limestone quoins and an offset sill chamfer. The roof is pantiled and the building has two storeys and an attic, with three bays. The left two bays are symmetrical, featuring a central gabled porch with a four-panelled door and cusped barge boards on the gable. The ground floor has three-light casement windows, with segmental brick arches and keyblocks above them. The right bay, which extends beyond the axial stack, is identical and may have originally served as a dairy. There is a stack on the left gable, and the roof is half hipped to the right with an added stack. Lean-to additions are present at both ends and at the rear, with the right lean-to extended to the rear by an outbuilding that is built onto part of a rubble boundary wall.
Inside, there is a brick open fireplace with a chamfered lintel. A staircase is located at the rear of the left parlour bay, which is enclosed by a timber-framed partition. The roof consists of six bays with principal rafter and collar trusses featuring plated yokes.
