Haresfield Farmhouse

Haresfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of English/random bond red brick, featuring a brick platband and stone window frames. The roof is made of clay plain tiles with gabled ends, and there are brick stacks at the gable ends. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the main range including a parlour at the south end over a cellar, an entrance hall at the center with a stair tower behind it, and another heated room to the north of the stair hall. At the north end, there is an integral outshut, which leads to back stairs that provide access to chambers over the kitchen in the service wing on the west side of the house.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic and cellar. The west front is asymmetrical with two windows, featuring two-light chamfered stone mullion windows with iron casements. There is a doorway on the left with a rectangular overlight and a plank door. A brick platband runs at first floor level. To the left, there is a lower gable-ended wing with a late 19th-century single-storey outshut on the inner south side. The rear (east) side also has stone mullion windows and includes a tall three-storey gabled stair tower to the right of center, with similar two-light stone mullion windows on each floor. There is a 20th-century brick extension on the right (north) side of the stair tower, along with a single-storey integral outshut at the right-hand (north) end.

Inside, the parlour features a compartmented ceiling with deeply chamfered intersecting beams. The stair tower contains a well-preserved late 17th-century dog-leg staircase with splat balusters, along with chamfered ceiling beams and 18th and 19th-century joinery. The original tenoned-purlin roof structures remain intact.
