Colstrope Farmhouse

House. Built in the early to mid-18th century. The front is constructed of knapped flint with brick dressings and dentil eaves; the remaining walls are brick with incised line pointing. It has a plain tile roof with brick chimneys at the sides. The house is double pile and has a cellar and attics, with three bays. The outer bays have three-light windows with central metal casements and 20th-century glazing; the ground floor window on the left has been altered with top lights. All ground floor windows have segmental heads. A two-light window is located centrally over a half-glazed door set within a 20th-century gabled wooden porch. A small wing extends to the right. The rear elevation features three-light windows in the outer bays, circa 1830-40 French doors with an arched trellis porch on the right, and a central staircase window. A 20th-century casement window has been inserted on the ground floor to the right. Small attic casements are set within the gables. Inside, the entrance hall has reeded doorcases. The rear parlour features similar doorcases with rosettes at the corners, a small marble fireplace, all dating from circa 1830-40, and the front left room has asymmetrical arched recesses flanking an altered fireplace. The lower wing includes queen strut trusses incorporating timbers from an older structure.
