Farleys End Farmhouse

Farleys End Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse that dates back to the 15th century, with possible earlier origins and 19th-century alterations. It is primarily timber-framed but has mostly been rebuilt in brick, topped with a clay plain tile roof and featuring brick chimneys. The structure consists of four bays, with a central two-bay former hall that now has a cross passage. The building is single-storey with an attic, except for the west end, which is two-storey with an attic.

The front of the farmhouse has a mix of window styles, including some timber-framing, with the right side rebuilt in brick and rendered. It features a segmental headed plank door and a casement window to the right, three casement windows to the left, and a central high-level staircase casement. There are two gabled roof dormers on the left, one of which has a leaded casement, and a central brick ridge chimney.

The east end of the farmhouse has a half-hipped roof with a projecting brick chimney stack and a 19th-century sash window on the upper floor. The back of the building shows scattered fenestration in a rebuilt brick wall, mostly with segmental arches. There are two doorways with plank doors and a casement window between them, along with an altered 20th-century casement with a concrete lintel to the left and a small mid-level staircase casement to the right. At the right end, there is an attached stable with a segmental headed door and a pitching hole above.

On the west end, there is a small attic casement above the attached stable and a segmental headed stable door with a loft casement above. Inside, the farmhouse features five pairs of crucks with cambered collars and massive curved windbraces in the roof. The former open hall has a 17th-century inserted floor, and there are two spiral staircases, one of which dates from the 17th century while the other was replaced in the 19th century. Originally, this building served as the manor house of Farley manor, which was owned by Gloucester Abbey. It is part of a group of three contemporary cruck-framed buildings, including a barn and an outbuilding.
