SU 73 NW
1/3 Old House Farmhouse

1.5.83 II

Farmhouse. C17, early and late C19. The walls are rendered with a plinth,
the wing being of coursed malmstone with brick dressings. The roof is
unusual, the northern half being of steeper pitch, both sections half-hipped,
with a slate roof above the wing. A timber frame of two phases, forming an
L-shape, with early C19 recladding of the west front, and minor extensions of
the late C19. The west elevation is a re-modelling of the early C19, with a
symmetrical central section of 2 storeys, 2 windows, a set-back at the north
side which is part of the older frame, and at the south side a single-storeyed
wing with continuous walling. Large sashes in reveals, a small casement in
the wing. 4-panelled door with a plain hood. The north elevation is of 2
storeys, irregular fenestration: the upper walls have exposed framing with
painted brick infill, the lower of brickwork of 2 phases (of Monk and English
bonds): the main feature is a massive attached stack with recessed panels in
the upper part and blind arches below, the chimney tapering above eaves level
to a narrow shaft. The interior of the angle of the L-shape has exposed
framing to the north-south part, of 1 storey and attic, with tile-hanging to
the upper part of the 2 storeyed east wing; within the angles is a staircase
projection, timber-framed above a brick lower wall. Casements and plain
doorways.
