Muckley Farmhouse

Muckley Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1840, built for Captain Clark and incorporating earlier 18th-century fabric. It is constructed of squared stone with tooled and margined dressings, and has a slate roof. The south front has two storeys and three bays, with a symmetrical design. There are slightly raised quoins. The central entrance has renewed double doors with an overlight, and 12-pane sash windows. All openings have slightly raised surrounds with decorative “ears” and “feet”, and projecting bracketed sills. The eaves have paired, moulded brackets. A hipped roof is topped by two corniced ridge stacks; the stack on the left has four conjoined shafts, and the one on the right has two. To the right is a lower, set-back kitchen wing, which is an older house that was refronted around 1840. This wing features a 12-pane sash window with a 6-pane sash above it, and a coped gable on the right with a 20th-century brick stack. The altered farm buildings to the right are not of particular interest.
