Description
Kepier Farmhouse is part of the former Kepier Hospital, dating from the 14th to the 20th century. The building is constructed of rendered sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, with some sections raised in brick. The rear features rubble and brick, and there is a partial boulder plinth. It has a Welsh slate roof and is two storeys high, with three bays and a left extension that has two lower storeys and one bay, with the upper storey made of brick. There is a low one-storey, one-bay pent addition on the right.
The main block includes a right end buttress and a step up to a 20th-century door on the left, which is set in an ogee-headed surround. The windows are paired two-light designs with Perpendicular tracery, although the left window is a 20th-century copy. The first floor features irregular fenestration, including a large blocked rectangular opening to the left of the door, which has a 20th-century six-pane light inserted. The other two bays also have similar lights, with the left under a wider lintel and the right positioned higher under a stepped label mould. There is a relieving arch at ground level in the second bay and a boulder plinth in the third bay. The left extension has a 20th-century three-light window and lintel on the ground floor, with a blank space above. A wide battered chimney is located at the centre rear of the steeply-pitched roof, and there is a brick chimney at the left end of the lower ridge on the extension. The interior has not been inspected.
