Description
Tolcis Farmhouse is a 15th or 16th century plastered stone house with a thatched roof and gabled ends. It has two storeys and an additional storey plus attic. The building features long ranges with eyebrow dormers at the north end and a modern single storey extension below that encloses doorframes with a Tudor arch. There is an off-centre gabled thatched porch. The south gable end and the rear of the house have two and three-light ovolo-moulded mullion windows, along with brick ridge and end chimney stacks. At the rear, there is a thatched roof wing that forms an L-shaped plan.
Inside, the farmhouse contains three jointed cruck trusses that show signs of smoke blackening. There is a plank and muntin screen at the lower end and around the staircase. The ceiling beams are stopped chamfered. A cross passage features a shouldered arch doorway beside an inserted stone stack, which has chamfered jambs leading to a fireplace with a chamfered timber bressummer.
