Quakers Farmhouse

Quakers Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century, with later alterations. It is built with colourwashed roughcast over a red brick base, with the brickwork exposed to the rear and right gable. The roof is tiled, and there are brick chimneys located to the right and rear left corner. The house follows a 'T' shape, with extensions at the rear, to the left side. It has two storeys, emphasised by a horizontal band course on the first floor. Originally five bays wide, it now has three, with four-pane sash windows, replaced in the early 20th century; the ground floor windows have segmental arches above them, and the upper windows are adorned with small gables. The central entrance has an old, two-panel door, a paired leaded fanlight, and a roll-moulded frame, sheltered by an early 20th-century timber-gabled porch. A rear wing includes a basement and attic, with the rear gable featuring two bays of segmental-headed windows, and one bay that is blank. Inside, there are old two-panel doors and an early 18th-century staircase, featuring moulded balusters, a handrail, and a closed string. The property was formerly a Meeting House and the home of John White, a noted Quaker.
