(South Side)

Farmhouse)
GV II
Farmhouse now a house. Early C16, mid to late C17 alterations and
rebuilding, late C19 extensions. Timber-framed and plastered with red brick
rear wing unified with existing building in south elevation by cased red
brick over timber-frame. Plain tiled roofs. Two rectangular planned stacks
behind the ridge and rear stacks. Two storeys and attic with lower two
storey range of original C16 building to left hand and rear wing to right
hand extended forming long L-plan. West elevation; coved plastered eaves
cornice to right hand range with gabled lean-to porched entrance and panelled
door; panelled architrave and hood with shaped brackets from this doorway
resited to perhaps original lobby entry position to left hand. Four C20
ground floor casement windows and three first floor casement windows.
Interior: C16 range to left hand of two timber-framed bays with ground floor
frame grooved, perhaps for boards, and with chamfered and stopped square
sectioned crown post over central truss; originally unheated it may have
been a warehouse or floored barn (qv the Old Manor House). Main range and
rear wing with pine frame and perhaps reused late C16 floor frame with
heavily roll-moulded cross beams. Two relined fireplaces.
