Description

Mays Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It was restored around 1980. The building features a timber frame set on a flint plinth, with the gable end and passage bay rebuilt in brick. It has a plain tile roof. The structure consists of three bays, with a narrow smoke/passage bay and an outshot bay to the left. The first floor jetties out, and the second bay from the left has been rebuilt in brick, replacing the first floor and filling in under the jetty with a 20th-century double plank door. Both end bays have also been rebuilt in brick. The windows in the right two bays are 20th-century hardwood casements with slight eyebrows above them. The roof is half-hipped to the right and hipped and swept down to the left, with a large multiflue ridge stack above the door.
