Description

Martins Farm is a pair of houses that were originally a single two-bay house built in the 17th to early 18th century. The building has 19th and 20th-century extensions at the rear of the left bay and to the right. The center of the rear wall features some re-used timber framing, while the ground floor front was rebuilt in brick in the late 18th to 19th century, and the first floor front is rendered and whitewashed. The roof is tiled, with part of it covered in old tiles, and there is a central brick chimney with four attached square shafts made of early 18th-century brick. The house has one storey and an attic.

The left bay has a three-light leaded casement window on the ground floor and a similar two-light window above. The right bay features 20th-century three-light leaded casements. Both upper windows are set in small gables. There is a central narrow two-storey projection, which was formerly a porch, made of 18th-century red and vitreous brick, with a narrow band course on the first floor and a gable at the front. The ground floor has paired barred wooden casements, and above them, there is a paired leaded casement. The right bay has a board door with a lean-to porch at the angle with the projection. Additionally, there is a flat-roofed 20th-century porch on the side of the left bay and a 20th-century two-storey extension set back to the right. This building is included for its group value.
