Description
Cherry Tree Farmhouse is a cottage built in 1847 by F. O'Connor for the National Co-operative Land Company, with a rear section that is likely older and has undergone later alterations. The front section features random rubble walls that are faced with render and lined to resemble ashlar, along with a stone plinth. The rear is made of painted random rubble and painted brick in the upper gables, topped with slate roofs.
The front of the house has a three-room layout with a slightly projecting center and is one room deep, while the rear section is the same length, one room deep, and has 1½ storeys. The front entrance includes a half-glazed door with three flush panels below and two glazed panels above. There is a single 8-pane casement window on each side of the door, and a dumb-bell ventilator in the gable with plain bargeboards. Each side of the center has a two-light casement window with small panes, which may have been renewed to match the original design. The roof is hipped, with chimneys at the center rear and at the ends.
The left side of the building has a plain end with a flush chimney and a nipped roof, while the end of the rear section is slightly set back, with eaves at the same height. There is a six-panel door that is slightly off-center, featuring two flush panels at the bottom, a fielded panel in the center, and a glazed panel at the top, with a flat timber lintel above. A late 20th-century three-light casement window is located above this door in an earlier opening, also with a flat timber lintel. The timber verge rafters are visible.
The rear section appears to have originally been a half-hipped barn, with the left end converted into a stable, and the entire area has been lofted over and is now part of the house. This farmhouse is notable for being attached to an earlier building, and the front appears to have changed little over time. It forms a group with other Chartist cottages and is listed primarily for its historical and sociological significance.
