Description
The Old Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, which was raised in the late 18th century or early 19th century and had its windows replaced in the 20th century. It has a roughcast exterior over brick and a Bridgwater tile roof that is hipped to the west, with one stack on the north roof slope. The building is two storeys high and features a three-window range, all of which are 20th-century timber windows. There is a central door and a lean-to on the west end.
Inside, the ground floor left room has heavy chamfered beams supporting a four-panel compartmental ceiling and an exceptionally large unmoulded stone depressed-arched fireplace. The ground floor right room also has a chamfered beam. The roof trusses date from the 18th or early 19th century. The farmhouse is included for its notable interior features.
