Description
Andlows Farmhouse is a 17th-century building that was extended and altered in the 18th century. It is constructed of flint and brick, with earlier timber-framing visible within. The farmhouse features an old tiled roof that is hipped at the west end and has two brick stacks near the center. There is a gabled crosswing at the east end, which contains a staircase in the southwest angle, under the continuation of the main roof. The crosswing has floorbands and chamfered brick window surrounds.
The garden front has a modern porch in the center, with a 2-light casement window on the left and a 3-light casement on the right. Above these, there are similar windows, with a 2-light window over the porch. To the right, there is a small window for the staircase, along with a door and one window for the wing, and a 2-light casement on the first floor. The west end elevation features a floorband and one 2-light casement window on the left for each floor. The rear elevation facing the farmyard has a 6-fielded panel door under a hood with shaped brackets, a 3-light casement on the left, and two similar windows above. There are also two 2-light casements on the first floor of the wing on the left, with a loft door in the gable above. Modern additions are present on both the right and left sides.
Inside, the central room boasts a good chamfered spine beam and joists with moulded stops, along with a large inglenook fireplace. There is a chamfered and stopped doorframe leading to the rear entrance lobby, and an 18th-century arched cupboard in the west room. The first floor central room features a 17th-century moulded tone cornice mantelpiece with small heart-shaped motifs in the spandrels. Additional chamfered doorframes are present, including one 17th-century or early 18th-century door with bolection moulded panels, diamond-shaped above and shouldered below.
