Description
Farmhouse, later a house, dating from the early 17th century, with substantial rebuilding around 1770 and remodelling and extension in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brick, with a rendered stone plinth to the rear and a stone rubble wall to the left, and has gabled Welsh slate roofs with brick end stacks. It originally comprised three units, extended in the early 19th century to an L-plan with the addition of a brewhouse and dairy to the front right. The house has three storeys and a four-window front. A mid-19th century four-panelled door with overlight is set in a mid-19th century panelled surround and pedimented architrave. The tall, late 19th/early 20th century windows have transoms and two lights, with elliptical brick arches above. Raised storey bands are visible, and the attic storey has dentilled eaves over 20th-century two-light casements. The rear elevation features a two-storey bay window with a half-glazed door set in a decorative wrought-iron porch. An early 19th-century brewhouse with a brick stack sits to the right, and a contemporary dairy was added to the front, featuring segmental brick arches over early 19th-century two- and three-light casements with iron bars to the ground floor. The interior retains reused early 17th-century beams, a fine spice cupboard with butterfly hinges in the central hall, and plank doors with Norfolk latches and strap hinges set in chamfered wood architraves. A ground-floor room to the right has an early 17th-century open fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel and chamfered stone jambs, alongside a mid/late 18th-century bread oven. There is an early 19th-century open-well staircase with stick balusters. One plank door in the attic has "CHEESE ROOM" printed in early 19th-century lettering.
