Description

Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse constructed from whitewashed rubble stone, featuring a slate roof and red brick stacks that have been rebuilt at the ridge and west end. The original section of the house is located to the right of the ridge stack. It is two storeys high with a loft. The north front has a triple casement window on the first floor to the left, and a tiny loop window alongside a pair of casement windows to the right. On the ground floor, there is a pair of casement windows and an oak door with a Tudor arch in a rectangular frame to the left, with a triple casement and another pair of casement windows to the right. All windows have stone sills.

The west end wall features a pair of casement windows on the first floor with a brick head, and a small loft light. The rear south side has a stone wall-face stack for an added section on the right. The older part on the left has two pairs of casement windows on the first floor, while the right has one longer pair. The ground floor on the right includes a chamfered stone doorway with a four-centred arch and ogee stops. To the left, there are two pairs of casement windows. A photograph in Fox & Raglan shows the older windows, including a triple casement on the first floor to the right and a ground floor window left of centre, with a door in a pent-roofed porch.

The plan in Fox & Raglan indicates that the staircase is located by the fireplace in the original part, and there is an oak frame around the original end door, which now leads into an added cross-passage. In the newly added third room, there is a door with a shaped head at the centre of a post-and-panel screen, and beams with stepped hollow stops to the chamfers. The fireplace is situated on the south side wall. The roof trusses in the original part are said to have queen posts, while the addition features notched collar-trusses. The interior was not accessible during the inspection in December 1999.
