Description

The building is designed in the Tudor style and has a rectangular shape. It is two storeys tall and has two bays, with tall three, four, and five-light chamfered stone mullioned windows set in block surrounds, complete with stopped angled labels above. The central door opening has a moulded stone surround with a depressed arch head, and it contains a 20th-century glazed door. To the left side, there is a two-storey, six-bay wing that is of lower height, featuring casements with glazing bars and two door openings with 20th-century half-glazed doors. The farmhouse is included for its group value with the Church of All Saints.
