Description

Cherrytree Farmhouse is a largely 2-storey building with a painted roughcast front, featuring a symmetrical 2-window layout on the right side that relates to 19th-century remodelling. It has a slate roof, which is steeper over the single-storey 2-window section to the left. The roughcast chimney stacks, with brick caps, are larger to the left of centre, opposite the original main entrance. The gables have simple timberwork above first-floor small pane casement windows. The ground floor has broad tripartite horizontally sliding sash windows with lintels above. These windows flank a 19th-century 4-panel door with a panelled overlight, and there is a modern trellised porch. The original entrance, located to the left of centre, has been infilled with a modern small pane window, while the lower section to the left features a small pane cross frame window. The right gable end has a projecting chimney breast and a cross range set back behind it, which includes another chimney stack on the rear gable and a projecting bread oven. A blocked former doorway is visible on the return elevation. A camber-headed window lights the hall, and there is a lean-to at the centre with two swept roof dormers to the right on the steeper roof. A chimney stack is located at the right-hand corner, and there is a tiny outbuilding at the end.

The original plan of the building is a lobby entry, although the doorway has been blocked and the winding staircase at the rear is encased. The main entrance was cut in during the 19th century, as indicated by the ends of the cross beams at the former wall depth. The main room is framed in three directions with deep roll stop chamfers, while the joists are lightly chamfered. The windows are deeply recessed, showcasing simple 17th-century details. The right-hand cross range features a 19th-century ceiling. Timber partitions separate the rooms at the left end, which are lower in height. Notably, the roofs of the main range and the cross range overlap. A chamber around the main chimney breast at mezzanine level is said to have been a priest's hole, and there are boarded doors throughout.
