6/16 Church Farmhouse

1/12/51 GV II

Farmhouse. Early to mid C16, remodelled mid C17 and mid C18, extended in C19. Timber-framed and plaster infill, parts roughcast, slate roofs, rubblestone ridge stack with red brick shafts. Hall and cross wing type extended and converted. 2 storeys over cellar. Hall, probably of 3 structural bays, has close studding to first floor and long straight tension braces; formerly jettied it has now been underbuilt on the ground floor which is roughcast (but see the moulded bressumer with billet type moulding); on the first floor one C19 casement to right and an original 2-light window (now infilled) to left. On the ground floor a projecting flat roofed porch to the right marks the position of the former cross passage; to the right of this a projecting gabled cross wing with C19 casements on both floors. The gable end of the hall is stone clad and bears the datestone R below the roof apex. To the rear the twin gabled elevation E S retains close studding to the ground floor and the position 1751 of an original small 2-light window (now blocked) to the right; jettying to the first floor (note the difference in height between the 2 gables) and to an attic on the right hand gable, now obscured by roughcast. Underneath the roughcast there is said to be unusual timber-framed decoration on both the gables and one of them is said also to have a datestone of 1659. To the right of the original farmhouse (looking from the east) is a C19 addition, rectangular in plan, also roughcast with a slate hipped roof. (Interior not inspected). B.O.E. P.203.
