Walkden Farm is a historic farmhouse at 495 Marvel Street in Swansea, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1800, and is a well-preserved example of a vernacular Federal style farmhouse. It has the typical five-bay center-entry layout with a large central chimney, with corner pilasters and a frieze below the roofline. The entry is in a single-story hip-roofed projection, with full-length sidelights. The property includes a c. 1885 barn.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
