Description
Town Farmhouse is a house dating from the early to mid-16th century, featuring a cross wing on the right and a later 16th-century jettied addition of two bays. To the left, there are two additional bays from the same century but built differently. The structure is timber-framed with large curved braces and brick and plaster infill, most of which is whitewashed. It has an old tiled roof and a rebuilt brick chimney situated between the jettied bays.
The house is two storeys high with five bays. The left bays contain irregular 20th-century leaded casements, while the ground floor on the right has an old three-light leaded casement and a 20th-century board door in the centre. The centre bays feature an upper storey that juts out at the front, with old leaded casements likely from the 18th to early 19th century; the ground floor on the left has board shutters. The upper right window is flanked by original three-light windows with finely moulded mullions, while the left window has two leaded lights, with the other lights blocked. The upper window in the left bay is from the 20th century, and there is a flush-panelled door to the right.
The cross wing on the right is slightly lower and has a half-hipped front. It features an old three-light leaded casement on the first floor, with 20th-century French doors and flanking single lights below. The rear of the house has lean-to extensions, a central gabled stair turret, and other 20th-century extensions.
Inside, the left bays have heavy rough timbers with cambered tie beams. The jettied section includes a stop-chamfered spine beam in the left bay, an ovolo moulded spine with bar stops in the right bay, and stop-chamfered joists. There is an original first-floor window with moulded mullions in the rear wall. The right wing features arched wind-braces in the front bay and remains of a substantial brace, which has been altered, in the cross wall.
