Description
Church Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 14th to 15th century, with alterations made in the late 16th to early 17th century and later changes. It features three incomplete cruck trusses, with outer walls that have been partly rebuilt in red brick dated 1828 and partly in red and vitreous brick dated 1793. The building has a moulded plinth and eaves, an old tile roof, and brick chimneys located to the right and to the right of center.
The house is two storeys high and has a four-bay fenestration, with two- and three-light barred wooden casements, the ground floor windows having segmental heads. The entrance is in the center, featuring a gabled 20th-century porch, with a blocked door to the right. To the left, there is an altered early 18th-century extension, which was formerly a granary, constructed of brick and weatherboard with a tiled roof. This extension has a 20th-century door and barred casements in the right return wall.
Inside, of the two surviving 15th-century bays, the left bay retains original heavy joists for the upper floor, while the right bay was part of an open hall, featuring a right truss with chamfered arched braces to the collar. A chimney and floor with stop-chamfered spine beams and joists were added in the late 16th to early 17th century. The ground floor fireplace has moulded stone jambs with Tudor rose motifs carved above the stops, along with a later wooden lintel. The first-floor fireplace is made of moulded stone with a Tudor arch and bears a scratched date of 1619.
