Description
Fairview is a small house dating from the mid-17th century, featuring rendered cob walls and a thatched roof that is gabled at the left end and hipped on the right. The house has an axial brick stack. Its layout consists of a three-room plan with a baffle entry in front of the axial stack, which has back-to-back fireplaces serving the left-hand and central rooms. The right-hand room is unheated and likely used for service purposes.
The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows, featuring 20th-century small-paned two and three-light casements. There is a 20th-century plank door located to the right of the centre. Inside, the left-hand room has a ceiling beam, and both rooms have wooden fireplace lintels that are chamfered with jewel stops. The roof likely retains its original trusses, which consist of substantial straight principals with trenched purlins.
