Description


ARNESBY ST. PETER'S ROAD (East Side) SP69 SW The Homestead Farmhouse 1/6 GV II

Farmhouse. Substantially early C18, though core is probably late C16 or early C17. Brick with zinc roof over former thatch. 2-storeyed, 3 unit plan with right-hand bay a projecting gabled wing. Doorway in moulded wood architrave central in left-hand bays. Windows all 3-light casements renewed in orginal openings with cambered heads. Blocked attic window in gable apex. Plain sill band, and additional dentilled sill band in gable. Plinth. Central door flanked by 2-light windows in rear wall of gable, and 2-light window and doorway beyond in the main range. Beyond the doorway, a lean-to single storeyed wing is timber framed with brick infill. Posts and rails and 1 arched brace survive. It was formerly a gabled wing with pitched roof. The patchy brickwork and rendering in the rear wall of the main range suggests that the existing brickwork may be the replacement of former timber framing in the main body of the house also. Gable and axial stacks.
