Description

Dirtywood Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century, with later extensions. It is constructed of irregular red and vitreous brick, featuring offset eaves and a right gable that is partly tile-hung. The roof is made of old tiles, and there is a brick chimney on the right side. The building has two storeys and three bays. The upper storey includes three-pane sash windows with wooden lintels, while the ground floor has a similar sash window on the left and a five-pane sash window on the right, both of which have altered segmental heads. Slightly to the left of centre, there is a 20th-century half-glazed door with a barred rectangular fanlight, framed by a moulded architrave and topped with a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. At the rear, there is a 19th-century parallel range, along with small one-storey brick extensions on either side; the right extension has a door, and the left connects to a 20th-century gabled brick wing.
