Charity Farmhouse

Charity Farmhouse is a house that dates from the late 16th century to the 17th century, with alterations made to an older building and repairs in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with some thin brick infill, partly in a herringbone pattern, and part of the structure has been rebuilt in red brick. The two bays on the left are slightly lower and have a 20th-century tiled roof, while the taller right bay has a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the right, with a brick chimney on the left. The house is 1½ storeys high and has three bays. It has irregular barred wooden casements, with those in the first floor of the left bays located in eaves-line dormers that have catslide roofs, and the upper right window is also in thatch. The lobby entry features a boarded door with a 20th-century shallow gabled hood and a four-pane window above, positioned just below the eaves. There is a blocked basement window in the right bay and 20th-century extensions to the rear. Inside, there is a cruck truss between the left bays and a stop-chamfered spine beam and joists in the central ground floor room.
