Description

Kiln Farmhouse, which includes a former malthouse at the rear, is a two-storey building constructed of render and painted brick with a slate roof and brick chimneys. The front elevation facing the road is symmetrical, featuring a central door with a pedimented surround, a window on each side, and a range of three 12-pane sash windows on the upper floor, all with painted stone sills. The rear of the building has replaced windows.

Attached at right angles to the main structure is a two-and-a-half-storey range made of painted brick, which has a dentil eaves cornice. The right side features replaced windows and a 20th-century porch, while the left side has a range separated by a vertical joint in the brickwork. This side includes two multipaned cast-iron windows at attic level that break through the eaves, along with two similar windows below. On the ground floor, there are two doors and one multipaned cast-iron window.

Inside, the entrance leads to a hall that features a fine early 18th-century staircase with heavy newels, a moulded handrail, closed string, and turned balusters. Doors lead off to each side of the hall, and there is a step down to the rear range, which has a heavy chamfered ceiling beam of 17th-century character. To the right, there is a wide fireplace, and next to it is a boarded door with H hinges that leads to a spiral staircase, which is said to provide access to the upper floor and attic. The upper floor and former malthouse were not accessible during the 1996 survey.
