Description
Sansomes Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse featuring square-panelled timber-framing and a half-hipped thatched roof with an axial brick stack. The building has a baffle-entry design and consists of three bays, with one storey and an attic. The front elevation has four casement windows on the ground floor and one in the attic. The entrance is located at the rear, where there is a planked door to the left, and to the right, there are two 2-light and two 1-light plastic-framed windows. The left side of the farmhouse has a 2-light plastic-framed casement window on both the ground and first floors, while the right side features a 19th-century lean-to extension built in Flemish bond brick.
Although the interior was not accessible during the survey, it is reported to include chamfered beams and exposed joists with ogee stops, an open fireplace with a timber lintel on brick jambs, timber-framed partitions, and a timber-framed chimney on the first floor. The original roof structure contains one tier of butt purlins and wind bracing.
