Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with alterations from the 16th century, a staircase wing from the 17th century, and rear additions from the 19th century. The building features a timber frame with colourwashed plastered infill, a colourwashed rubble west elevation, and mostly colourwashed render on the rear. The staircase wing and its west addition are made of colourwashed brick. The roof is covered with old tiles and is hipped to the west.

This medieval hall house is of the Wealden type, characterized by jettied cross wings. The left-hand side has a door and a three-light leaded casement window. On the ground floor, the center features two leaded two-light 16th-century moulded mullioned casements flanking a later four-light window. The original entrance to the screens passage is located under the right-hand jetty, followed by a three-light leaded casement. The upper floors of the cross wings have three-light leaded casements and close-studding. The center has coved eaves that extend over the wall plate, supported by brackets. A three-light leaded oriel window from the 17th century has a moulded cill and cut brackets. There is a stack backing onto the cross passage, and at the rear, there is a canted oriel on columns with barred sash windows.

Inside, the house features a central hall truss with arch braces, chamfered and stopped spine beams, and a chamfered main fireplace beam. In the roof of the left-hand cross wing, there is a mid-16th-century wall painting that includes Tudor roses and fleur-de-lys, separated by painted timbers. The staircase has a roughly moulded 17th-century newel post.
