Description

Church Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a large detached house. It dates back to the 17th century and was enlarged in the 19th century, with further alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed from random rubble limestone, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, with rubble chimneys that have moulded caps and a stone-slate roof.

The farmhouse is primarily two storeys high with an attic. Originally, it had a central staircase hall with a room on either side, but it now has a 20th-century staircase hall at the back. There is a single-storey service wing with an attic attached at the lower end, which returns to the rear of the main building.

The front facade has three windows, all of which are recessed chamfered mullioned and consist of three lights, except for the ground floor window to the left of the central doorway, which has two sets of two lights with a king mullion. Above the doorway, there is a single-light window, and a continuous drip mould runs below the upper floor windows. A 20th-century entrance porch has been added at the lower corner, and there are two hipped roof dormers.

On the upper gable end, there is a single window on each floor: a three-light window with hoodmoulding on the ground floor, which has been altered to French windows in the 20th century, and a two-light window with hoodmoulding on the upper floor, along with a single-light window in the attic. The main range features cross-gablet ridge tiles on the gables.

The back wing has a flat roof and includes metal casements with concrete lintels, all dating from the 20th century. The service wing has undergone significant alterations in the 20th century, but part of a bread oven remains in the former end gable. The fenestration is scattered, with all windows being metal casements with concrete lintels, and there is one hipped dormer on the front.
