Description

Box Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the medieval period, but mainly reflects 17th-century architecture. It is constructed of rendered rubble and features a Broseley tile roof. The building is a long, shallow block that includes a stair turret at the back and a two-storey porch on the left side. There is a large chimney stack located at the back, just to the right of the porch entrance.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a five-windowed facade with three-light casements that include a transom, likely from the 19th century. The porch has a pitched roof and contains a two-light casement window and a four-panel door. The top casements are positioned well below the eaves. The casements at the back of the house are all recent additions. In the stair projection, there is a small fixed glass opening.

Inside, the farmhouse features extremely heavy chamfered beams, and the wall thickness on the extreme left front measures approximately 1,300 millimeters, while the end gate is about 1,000 millimeters thick. The staircase has been renewed, but the turret has a semi-circular plan on the inside and a square shape on the outside. Some of the first-floor doors are plank on one side and four-panel on the other. The property has traditional associations with King John and has been mentioned during the reign of Edward III.
