Description

Winter's Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with minor alterations from the 19th century. It features brick-nogged timber framing on a brick plinth, with two panels high per floor and a random-rubble base in parts. There is a painted brick extension and tiled roofs. The main block has two bays and stands two and a half storeys tall, with an extended single-storey bay at one end and a one-and-a-half storey wing at right angles.

The entrance consists of a boarded front door located in the corner under a lean-to open porch, which is accessed by four stone steps and a quarter landing. The porch has turned balusters on a low wall and a scalloped bargeboard over the entrance, with a cambered brick arch leading to the doorway. To the right of the front door is a two-light casement window, with weatherboarding above.

There is a single-storey brick wing that is set back slightly beyond the gable, featuring a boarded door with exposed framing. On the left side of the door, there is a two-light casement window with weatherboarding above. Below a cambered head in the plinth, there is a boarded door leading to the cellar, accessed by stone steps. A retaining wall runs off the corner, with a gable on the left side that has a three-light casement window and weatherboarding, along with a one-storey-height stone wall leading to the farmyard below.

On the first floor, to the right of the front door, there is another two-light casement window. The main posts have short braces to the wallplate. In the gable of the lower wing, there is a three-light casement window that cuts through the tie beam, with braces to the corner posts and a wide verge. The left return features a large projecting chimney with a brick stack above the eaves. The right return shows braces from the main posts to the tie beam, with V-struts above the collar. There are also two gabled dormers on the main block, each with two-light casements and scalloped bargeboards. A further chimney is located at the rear of the main block.
