Ham Farmhouse And Outbuilding Adjoining To West With About 10 Metres Of Wall

A 17th-century farmhouse, with later alterations in the mid-to-late 18th century and again around 1900, accompanied by an adjoining outbuilding and a section of wall. The farmhouse is faced with red brick in a Flemish bond, with upper courses of Poole bricks added around 1900. The roof is slate-covered, and a tall 18th-century brick chimney is located to the left of the cross passage. The outbuilding is constructed from sandstone and blue lias rubble, with a red brick gable end on its left side and a shallow-pitched slate roof.

The original plan likely consisted of a two-cell and cross passage layout, possibly evolving from a three-cell and cross passage design, with the outbuilding attached to the west. The farmhouse has two storeys and features late 18th-century leaded iron casement windows. The central entrance has a six-panel door with two inserted lights, sheltered by a hooded, cantilevered porch. A bevelled arris is visible on the right return, and a jagged butt-joint indicates the junction with the outbuilding. A small ventilation slit is also present. A red sandstone wall, featuring pointed arch openings and brick voussoirs, returns from the farmhouse.

Internally, some areas are visible, revealing 18th-century panelled doors. The farmhouse served as the dwelling for a brewer in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the outbuilding provided storage space for barrels. Other ancillary buildings have been altered and are not considered to have group value.
