Description
Southward Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse constructed of Flemish brickwork with a tiled roof. The building is two stories high and features three bays, along with a three-bay return on the east side and a one-bay, one-story west extension made of brick, chalkstones, and sarsen, also with a tiled roof. The structure is L-shaped and likely replaces an earlier farmhouse, of which only the west extension, formerly used as a dairy, remains. The windows are 12-pane sashes with gauged flat brick arches, and there are moulded brick eaves. The front includes one gabled dormer and a right stack. The entrance is located in the west extension, replacing an earlier entrance on the east elevation, which is now blocked and contains a reset datestone found on site. The datestone reads "I. H. 1770," likely referring to the main block. The interior has not been seen.
