Description
Loosehanger Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse that was enlarged in 1928. It is constructed from coursed rubblestone and brick, topped with a tiled roof that has a half-hip on the right and features an axial brick stack. The building is single storey with an attic and has five windows. To the left, there is a 4-panelled door set in a Victorian gabled porch, which has a Tudor-arched stone doorway, with assorted casements on either side. The steeply-pitched roof is adorned with five gabled dormers, each containing 2-light casements. The right side of the house has a hipped porch with another 4-panelled door. At the rear, there are two 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned windows and French windows on the ground floor, along with three gabled dormers featuring 2-light casements and a brick stair turret. The interior was not accessible during the survey in January 1985, but it is reported to have chamfered beams with step and concave stops on both the ground and first floors, an open fireplace with a reset chamfered breasummer, and stairs dating from around 1800. The roof has three bays and was enlarged by one bay to the west in 1928, using stretcher bond brick.
