Description
Spinney Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with painted brick infill and a plain-tile roof, topped with a brick ridge stack. It has a two-unit lobby entry plan and is one storey high with an attic, presenting a two-window range.
The entrance includes a 20th-century plank door located to the right of center, with a small two-light 20th-century casement window on the far right and a three-light leaded casement window on the left side of the ground floor. There are two hipped dormer windows in the roof. The farmhouse has a rendered limestone rubble plinth and small panel framing, consisting of ten panels long and two panels high, with struts connecting the end posts to the wall-plate and tie beams. The stack features a pair of square brick flues set together.
To the left, there is a two-storey rendered brick extension that is set back and has been much altered in the 20th century. Inside, there are open fireplaces that are set back-to-back, with one featuring a chamfered bressumer while the other is partly blocked. The farmhouse was formerly thatched.
