Fields Farmhouse

Fields Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1859, constructed from yellow/buff brick and topped with a slate roof featuring overhanging verges and eaves supported by brick corbels. The building has brick axial stacks, one of which has a tablet inscribed with "MD 1859". It is designed in a picturesque Tudor style.

The layout is double depth, with a parlour, dining room, and a central entrance/stairhall in the front range, while the kitchen and dairy are located behind. A small single-storey rear wing, added later in the 19th century, contains what appears to be a swill kitchen.

The exterior is one storey and attic high, featuring a symmetrical three-bay front with rusticated brick quoins and a central two-storey gabled porch, also with rusticated brick quoins. The porch has a corbelled brick string and a brick hoodmould over the doorway, which features a six-panel door and a three-centred arch fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The building has two and three-light mullion-transom windows that project slightly, with diamond lattice casements set in chamfered openings with stone lintels and hoodmoulds. Similar windows are found on the sides and at the rear, which has two gables and a small single-storey gable-ended wing at the center.

The interior of the farmhouse is largely unaltered and retains many original features, including a staircase with stick balusters, chimneypieces and grates, panelled doors, and other joinery, much of which appears to have been reused from an earlier 19th-century house.
