Description

Meads Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century that has been altered. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with thin brick quoins, window jambs, and a door surround, all painted pink. The roof is covered with 20th-century tiles and features flanking chimneys made of red and vitreous brick, with the right chimney having a small pilaster. The building has a T-plan layout and is one storey with an attic, featuring a southeast front with three bays. The windows are 20th-century barred wooden casements, with three-light windows in the outer bays on the ground floor and two-light windows in gabled eaves-line dormers. The central entrance has an early 19th-century flush-panelled door set in an architrave frame with a segmental head. At the rear, the gable has 20th-century metal casements, with the ground floor windows retaining their original segmental heads. There is a small 19th-century extension made of colourwashed brick at the rear of the right bay and a 20th-century conservatory at the rear of the left bay.
