Town Farm

This is a late 17th-century farmhouse. The farmhouse is constructed of thinly coursed, painted rubble stone with a slate roof and brick end stacks. It is two storeys high with an attic, with walls that have a slight outward slope. The windows are wooden, with four lights and ovolo mullions. These windows have angled dripstones that are dropped and returned at the ends; some are fixed lights, and others are opening casements. The north front displays a symmetrical design. The first floor has three mullions with 2+2+2+2 pane casements, while the ground floor has a central entrance flanked by mullions with 4+4+4+4 casements on each side. The entrance doorway has an ovolo-moulded wooden frame and a flat top, bearing the date 1673. It features a plank and batten door with strap hinges that have bifurcated ends. A small, two-light lobby window is located immediately to the left of the doorway, and both the door and window are covered by a single dripmould. The west gable has a 20th-century four-pane window on the first floor and a blocked window on the ground floor, both with angled dripstones. The garden front, which faces the churchyard, has a central two-pane casement on the ground floor and two 2+2 casements and one 2+2+2 casement on each side. The first floor features a four-pane window on the left and another 2+2+2 pane casement in the centre.

The interior of 1673 is exceptionally fine, containing many interesting features. The entrance leads into a lobby with doorways on the right and left, leading to the parlour and hall. These doorways have ornate door-heads, with scrolled sides and inverted pyramids projecting down from the centre of each arch. The ground-floor ceiling has ovolo-moulded beams and roll-moulded joists. The parlour fireplace and stair have a 17th-century crease door. Similar doors are found in the first-floor bedrooms and a cupboard. The attic and cellar were not accessible for inspection at the time of resurvey.
