Description

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 16th century, with alterations from the 18th and early 19th centuries, including an additional bay to the left added around 1800 to 1820, as shown in a print from 1820. The building features stucco over part timber framing and brick, with an end-gabled roof now covered in 20th-century pantiles, two hipped roof dormers, and two brick stacks. It is a long range with a narrower early 19th-century extension to the south.

The exterior has two storeys and an attic, with irregular window placement on both floors. There is a late 19th-century entrance porch towards the left end, which has a shallow open gable and glazing in the upper part. On the ground floor, there are late 20th-century windows on either side of the porch, set in openings with infilled segmental arched heads, while all other windows are also late 20th-century.

Inside, the farmhouse retains several good features, including stop-chamfered beams with various scrolled and notched stops on both floors, and plank doors with strap hinges. The center room, which is the left-hand room of the original two-unit plan, has an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven. The roof structure includes collar-trusses with curved bracing and trenched purlins.
