the lower end and inner rooms heated. The rear outshut is probably an C18 addition

replaced, mostly with copies, in the late C20. The rear of the through passage has
been blocked off to provide a pantry in the late C20. 2 storeys. 6-window
asymmetrical range with regular fenestration and a C19 front door into the passage at
the left and the hall projection with 2 steep front gables to the right.

Interior The front of the passage survives. The lower end has exposed joists and a
large fireplace with a plain timber lintel and stone rubble jambs. 2 first floor
rooms are said to have barrel ceilings probably of the early C18. Early features may
be concealed in the rest of the house. Town Farm makes an important contribution to
the village centre.
