Description

Bottom Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th century. The upper storey features timber framing with brick infill, which is partly rendered and colourwashed, although the gable ends remain exposed. The ground floor was rebuilt in brick during the 19th century. The house has an old tiled roof, with a rebuilt brick chimney at the centre of the southeast wing and a later external brick chimney on the left gable of the northwest wing.

The building is designed in a T-plan with a 19th-century brick extension at the rear angle. It stands two storeys high and has three bays facing the road. The left bay and the gabled projection on the right both have three-light leaded casements; the upper left window features a weatherboarded gable above, while the upper right has a boarded hood. The centre bay contains a small leaded light on the first floor and a 19th-century lean-to porch at the angle with the right bay. To the left, there is a 20th-century lean-to with a small office attached to the front left corner.

On the right side of the house, there are two bays of three-light leaded windows and a central lobby entry within a 19th-century gabled brick porch that has arched side windows. The interior displays timber framing with diagonal braces, and the roof structure has been renewed.
