Description
Doxford Farmhouse is a house built in the second quarter of the 19th century. It is constructed from tooled stone with tooled-and-margined ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has a square villa plan.
The south elevation features two storeys and three bays. It has raised quoins, a chamfered plinth, and a first-floor sill string. The windows are 12-pane sash, except for a blind window in the center of the ground floor and another on the right side of the first floor. All openings are framed in raised alternating-block surrounds, and there is a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is hipped.
The left return also has similar 12-pane sash windows, with a single-storey rear wing set back to the left. The right return has a central flat-topped porch, which includes a 6-panel door in the left return and a 12-pane sash window in the end wall, along with a cornice. There are 12-pane sash windows, and an added narrow 8-pane sash window on the ground floor to the right. Each return features two stepped-and-corniced ridge stacks with panelled shafts.
Inside, there are early 19th-century marble fireplaces that were brought from Doxford Hall in the early 20th century.
