Little Haresfield Farmhouse

Little Haresfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, with later extensions in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is built of Flemish and English bond red brick and features gabled roofs covered with stone tiles and clay plain tiles. The building has brick axial and gable-end stacks.

The farmhouse has a U-shaped plan, consisting of two main front rooms with a central entrance and stair hall. There is a kitchen located in a wing behind the left room and a dairy behind the right room in an extended wing. A later 18th-century extension is present on the right side, along with a 19th-century outshut built on the gable-end of the kitchen wing, which extends to a range of outhouses.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar. The symmetrical three-bay south front features two gables and has two and three-light stone mullion windows with iron casements that include horizontal glazing bars. The central doorway has a stone frame with a cambered arch, an overlight, a plank door, and a canopy supported by shaped brackets. The right side has a one-bay later 18th-century extension with 20th-century casements. At the rear, there are two gable-ended wings, with the left wing extended in the 18th or 19th century, and both wings also have two-light stone mullion windows with iron casements.

The interior of the farmhouse is largely unaltered and retains many original features. These include a wide dog-leg staircase that rises to the attic, featuring square newels, simple splat balusters, and a heavy moulded handrail. Other original elements include two-panel and plank doors, panelled window shutters, wooden coat pegs, a cheese room with racks, stop-chamfered ceiling beams, and an original tenoned-purlin roof structure.
