Description
Middle Farmhouse, with the attached Dairy Cottage, is probably of late 17th-century origin. The farmhouse is primarily of cob construction, now faced with brick, and has a double Roman clay tile roof with timber vergepieces. It features brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has four bays. The entrance is in the third bay, with panelled reveals and a 19th-century six-panel door, with four glazed panels. There are also two garage doors on the left-hand side. Casement windows are present, with exposed timber lintols, and the first-floor windows appear to be of early date.
Inside, a variety of boarded and two-panel doors are found, along with cambered stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The roof is a collar trussed tie beam construction, without a ridgepiece, likely originally thatched. The Dairy Cottage, located to the rear, appears to be of 20th-century construction, but incorporates sections of the first floor of Middle Farmhouse, meaning it is not structurally separate.
