Box Farmhouse

Box Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with an extension from the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone, featuring timber lintels above the openings. The roof is thatched, with tiled aprons on the dormers. There are rebuilt chimney stacks positioned to the right of the center and on the left gable; the left stack has thin brick and pilasters. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five and a half bays. The windows are leaded casements, including a single light in the half-bay to the right, a three-light window with pointed tops in the upper window of the third bay, and the remainder are two-light windows. There are also two three-light leaded dormers on the left side. The lobby entry in the fourth bay features a six-panelled door with a gabled wooden hood supported by brackets. To the left gable, there is a lean-to that is set back. The rear of the house has outside steps leading to the first floor and a 17th-century three-light window with diamond-section oak mullions. The roof structure includes collar trusses and inverted curved wind braces. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters.
