Description
Plum Tree Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 18th century. It features a ham stone ashlar facade with cut and squared work on the sides and rear. The roof is made of double Roman clay tiles and has high coped gables that suggest it may have originally been thatched. There are brick chimney stacks at each end. The building is two storeys high and has four bays. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned types without labels, with two-light windows above and three, two, and four-light windows below. There is no window in the lower bay two, which instead has a plain chamfered doorway with a 20th-century door. At the rear, there is a lean-to and mid-20th-century extensions. The interior has been considerably modified, as noted in a report from 1981.
