Map

February 2018. Field Observation.
Unusual brickwork noted.
See photographs (S1).

This farmhouse consists of a 3-bay original part with decorative brick header patterns forming triangles as well as the more typical strips. The fenestration is later and of a fairly estate style of mullions and transoms. The house also has moulded brick cornices. This early part is divided from the later extension by a straight joint but the moulded brick cornice continues past the division. Was it re-used from the former gable-end?
