Description

Church Farm House is a farmhouse, now a house, with origins likely dating to the 15th or early 16th century, although it was largely rebuilt in the mid-18th century and further altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of regular coursed and squared limestone with a Collyweston slate roof. The original plan is unclear, but it is now a double-depth plan. The main front has a three-window arrangement. A central four-panel door is set under a wooden lintel, and three-light sash windows are similarly set under wooden lintels. Brick stacks are located at the ends of the building. The side elevations display twin gable ends of parallel gabled roofs.

Inside, the entrance hall features a staircase with a stick balustrade, which was reconstructed in the mid-20th century. The kitchen, to the rear on the left side of the house, has an open fireplace with a substantial bressumer (a large wooden beam above a fireplace). A room to the rear on the right side of the house has an open fireplace with a bressumer and a moulded spine beam, likely reset during a previous alteration. There is an arch-headed recess in the left wall of the fireplace and a squint (a small window) in the rear wall. A cloakroom to the rear of the entrance hall contains a late medieval blocked doorway with a chamfered wooden surround and a four-centred arch head. Evidence suggests a similar doorway was once located alongside it, above the kitchen doorway. The building is included on the heritage register for its group value, contributing to the wider architectural character of the surrounding area.
