Roman Walk Farmhouse

Roman Walk Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse, with later 19th and 20th century additions and alterations. The house is built of painted brick in Flemish bond and coursed rubble stone, with a thatched roof with stone slate eaves courses on the front elevation. It comprises a three-cell plan with a baffle-entry, and an outshut range added to the northwest side. The property is two storeys with an attic, and the outshut is one storey with an attic, extending over four bays.

The garden (southeast) front is of brick. It features segmental brick-arched ground-floor openings with a 20th-century panelled door in the second bay, a two-light window to the left on each floor, and a three-light and a two-light window to the right on each floor. All windows are small-pane casements apart from the ground floor window on the left. The thatch rises over the first-floor windows. The roof is half-hipped with a brick stack on the front roof slope, in line with the door. A late 20th-century single-storey garage attached to the right is not of special interest.

The entrance front is of rubble stone with quoins. The second bay features a reused, 17th-century nail-studded door with raised borders to the panels containing lozenges. Small-pane casement windows have been added on either side of the door. A 20th-century doorway above leads onto a balcony, and a mid-20th century single-storey addition on the right is not of special interest.

The southwest end has a 20th-century door, French window, and bow window on the ground floor. Above, there are two segmental brick-arched windows with small-pane casements, and a two-light attic window to the right with leaded panes. The northeast end mirrors the southwest end, with a 20th-century door, window, and French window to the ground floor, and upper windows similar to those on the southwest end, with left-hand windows being small-pane casements.

Inside the 18th century range, the kitchen, which was originally two rooms, now forms a single space. It has an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven, brick jambs, and a timber lintel (partially restored in the late 20th century). The interior features a large-scantling spine-beam with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops either side of the former partition wall, and a plank door with an L-hinge to the stair. The sitting room has a timber-lintelled brick fireplace backing onto the inglenook, and chamfered spine beams and joists. On the first floor, some of the timber members of the wall between the main range and the addition are visible. The attic has wide floorboards and a four collared principal rafter roof structure with two sets of butt purlins.
