Description
Church Farm Cottage is a 17th-century house with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of painted rendered stone and cob, with an asbestos slate roof that is hipped at the left end. The house has a rendered stack at the left end and a stone rubble stack with a tapered cap heightened in brick at the right end. The plan is of single heated rooms on each side of a central passage, with a projecting stair turret to the rear. It is two storeys high, with a four-window front. The windows are 20th-century casements with six panes per light. Buttressing flanks the ground floor window on the left end. A gabled slate roof covers the porch, which has a 20th-century door. A timber cavetto mullion window, infilled and of four lights, is located at the rear of the right-hand room, similar to that found at Hoopers Cottage. A two-storey outshut extends from the rear left end. Inside, the room to the right features a chamfered ceiling beam and a fireplace lintel supported on dressed stone jambs.
