Description
Encampment Farmhouse is a house built in 1780 and 1864 for the Ford Castle Estate. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has a double-pile plan and stands two storeys high with three bays, plus a lower one-bay extension to the right. It features a square plinth.
The entrance includes a half-glazed door with an overlight above. The windows are sash style, although the intermediate glazing bars have been removed. The roof is gabled with flat coping and has 19th-century brick stacks at the ends.
The right extension, added in 1864, is in a similar style and is made of tooled-and-margined ashlar that is coursed in with the earlier masonry.
Inside, there is a mid-19th-century staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters.
