Description

Castle Farmhouse is a house built in the late 18th century. The south front is made of squared stone, while the other sides are constructed from squared rubble. It features tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building has an H-plan layout, consisting of a two-storey north/south block with single-storey wings on either side, and a small extension to the west.

On the south elevation, there is a two-storey central bay flanked by single-storey bays. The center includes a plinth, a first-floor band that continues as an eaves cornice on the side parts, a first-floor sill band, and a stepped eaves cornice. The windows are 4-pane sash types with flat-arched lintels and slightly projecting sills. The hipped roof has several small lateral stacks on each return. The right return features a 4-panel door, a 6-pane fixed stair window, and an eaves cornice. The rear has 12-pane sash windows, and the small pent extension on the right wing has two 4-pane Yorkshire sashes on its end.

There is an asbestos-roofed outbuilding attached to the south-west wing, which is not of interest.
