Description

Meadle Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th to 17th century that has been altered over time. The ground floor has been rebuilt in brick, while the upper storeys are timber framed with brick infill. The central part of the building features ogee braces. It has an old tiled roof and a chimney stack located between the left bays, which has four separate brick shafts, three of which are set diagonally. There is also a small brick chimney to the right. The house is two storeys with an attic, consisting of three bays and a lobby entry.

The windows are 20th-century hardwood casements, mostly with three lights. There is a 20th-century flush-panelled door aligned with the chimney and a 20th-century half-glazed door in the right bay, both of which have slate hoods supported by cut wooden brackets. To the left, there is a 20th-century conservatory, with the gable above weatherboarded, and a lean-to at the rear of the left half. An old three-light leaded casement window has been re-sited to the first floor centre at the rear.

Inside, the farmhouse features stop-chamfered spine beams and joists, as well as stop-chamfered fireplace lintels. The central ground floor room has a moulded spine beam and fireplace lintel, along with some curved wind-braces.
