Description

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse made up of two buildings that are joined together. It has origins dating back to the mid-16th century and has been altered in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The structure features a brick base on a flint plinth with some ashlar dressings and is topped with thatched roofs. The principal house is located to the east and is two storeys high with four bays. There is a door to the left of centre, set behind an early 19th-century timber case with an overlight. The ground floor has three sash windows under segmental heads, while the first floor has three sash windows under square heads, all of which have glazing bars.

On the east corner, there is a stepped 17th-century buttress, and to the left of the door, there is a 20th-century buttress. The corners of the building are accented with stone quoins, and the windows are in reduced openings with some 16th-century brickwork visible. The gabled roof has internal end stacks, with the eastern stack dating from the 20th century and the western stack from the 16th century, featuring a square plinth and three drum flues. The gables are supported on kneelers. At the rear, there are two sloping buttresses and a central 20th-century door. To the right, there is one sash window and four sash windows on the first floor, all with glazing bars. There is an outshut to the left of the door and the remains of an arched door to its right in a wall of 16th-century brick. A dormer in the roof has a 20th-century casement.

The western part of the farmhouse is one storey with a dormer attic. It has two doors, one of which is set under a segmental arch. The ground floor has three casement windows and features a dentil eaves cornice below the gabled roof. There are three dormers with 20th-century casements. The roof of this section has two tiers of taper-tenoned butt purlins and collars, while the roof of the eastern house is not accessible. The interiors of both buildings have been completely altered.
