Description
Street Farmhouse is a building that dates from the late 16th or 17th century and the 18th century. It features a timber frame with colourwashed infill and a slate roof. The earlier structure consists of two bays with an external stack at the northeast end, which is now covered by a later added or rebuilt parlour bay, likely from the 18th century. This parlour bay is one storey with an attic and is constructed with lighter timber framing. At the southwest end, there is a lean-to made of 20th-century brick.
The earlier structure has three panels high with corner braces. There are timber windows and a door in the added framed lean-to porch, which is probably contemporary with the northeast bay. This newer section is also three bays high, featuring more slender framing. The rear wall was rebuilt in stone and brick in the 20th century. The farmhouse has two dormer windows and brick stacks, with a weatherboarded gable. The later framing includes chisel-cut Roman numeral assembly marks.
The main living hall may have originally been open to the roof, with a stack inserted later. There is now a refaced fireplace that extends beyond the bay into the parlour end. The hall appears to have extended into the inner room, possibly when the stack was inserted, and features a post and panel partition with one shaped doorhead. This arrangement left the chamber or solar over the inner room jettied over the end of the hall. Both the hall and inner room have deeply chamfered spine beams with cut stops, and a later partition that divided the inner room has since been removed. This end of the building later served agricultural purposes, including use as a pig-sty. The main truss includes queen struts, a collar, and raking struts, but features a king post for the internal truss. There is one windbrace to the upper purlin, which may have been a later addition.
