Description
Downbank Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse located on Todenham Main Street. It dates from the late 17th century to the 18th century, with 19th-century extensions. The building is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring a concrete tile roof, brick stacks on ashlar stumps, a corrugated iron roof on the far left, and a slate roof on the far right.
The main body of the farmhouse is rectangular, two storeys high, and has three windows. It includes two and three-light double chamfered stone mullioned casements and a central plank door set in a flat-chamfered surround. The gable ends have stacks and flat gable end coping. Attached to the left is a stone structure with a loft above, featuring a plank door at the lower right and stone steps leading up to a stable-type door with a timber-clad gable above. There is a 20th-century two-light casement window on the lower left and a single-storey extension on the far left. The stone structure to the right of the main body is one and a half storeys high. Inside the main body, there is an inglenook fireplace with a bressumer beam.
