Black House Farmhouse

Black House Farmhouse is an early 16th and 17th century farmhouse. It is timber-framed with brick infill, although the main part of the house has a ground floor encased in rubble flint with brick and stone dressings. A wing has been rebuilt in brick. The roof is thatched with tiled valleys. The house is T-shaped, consisting of a two-bay, two-storey building with a one-and-a-half storey, two-bay wing added to the rear at the centre. The garden front is two storeys and two bays, with a plinth, a flint ground floor containing two 19th-century three-light casement windows. Above are two 16th-century oriel windows supported by a single central timber bracket, with 19th-century three-light casements. A 19th-century external stack is located at the right end. Other windows and doors are also from the 19th century. The roof is half-hipped, with a decorated ridge piece, and extends outwards on one side of the rear wing.
