Description

Herds House Farmhouse is an enclosed building constructed in 1705, though the present structure likely dates from the later 18th century. It is two storeys high and features four windows. The building is made of ashlar stone and has a slate roof with raised verges, which are triangular stones, and two ridge chimneys. The windows are two-light casements. There is a door with a glazed porch to the left of the center, and a new doorway to the right of the center. To the right of the farmhouse is a large single-storey outhouse made of rubble with a pantile roof and a coped verge; it has a doorway located to the left of the center with a wooden lintel. To the left, there is a lower single-storey outhouse that has a slate roof.
