Description
Oakles Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse that has undergone some alterations. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a Welsh slate roof with rebuilt grey brick chimneys. The building has three storeys and three bays. The central entrance has a late 19th-century four-panel door with an overlight, set within a replaced doorcase. This entrance is flanked by canted bay windows that have dentilled sills and sashes, although the glazing bars have been removed. The upper windows feature projecting concrete sills and brick flat arches, with four-pane sashes on the first floor and twelve-pane horizontal sliding sashes on the second floor. The steeply-pitched roof includes a central ridge chimney and two end chimneys. There are additions to the right return, but these are not of special interest.
