Church Town Farmhouse

Church Town Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely has a core dating back to the 17th century, but it was extensively remodeled in the 19th century. The building is made of painted rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a slate roof that features axial and gable end stone rubble stacks with tapered caps. The left end stack has a clay pot with horns, and there is a lateral rear stack for an added range at the right end.

The farmhouse has a three-room and cross-passage plan, with the lower end located to the right. The partition on the lower side of the cross-passage has been removed. There are continuous outshuts at the rear that contain a staircase. An additional range, probably from the 18th century, has a lower ridge level added at the right end, which includes a large kitchen and dairy.

The exterior is two storeys high and features a four-window range with 19th-century fenestration. All windows are three-light casements with six panes per light, except for a two-light casement above a four-panelled door, where the upper two panels are glazed.

Inside, much of the 19th-century joinery remains intact. The lower end fireplace has a 19th-century chimneypiece with a bread oven. There is a hollow chamfered cross ceiling beam in the former cross-passage, along with two chamfered axial ceiling beams and a rear bressumer in the hall, and a deep chamfered axial ceiling beam and bressumers in the inner room. The hall and inner room fireplaces are concealed by 20th-century chimneypieces. The roof structure was entirely replaced in the 19th century.
