Description
Davy Field Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1723 on the lintel, but it is likely from the 17th century and has been altered. It is constructed of coursed sandstone with quoins and is whitewashed, featuring a stone slate roof with projecting eaves and gable chimneys. The building has two bays, a projecting porch, and a continuous rear outshut. It stands two storeys tall, with a single-storey rear section.
The two-storey gabled porch is offset to the left of the centre and has a Tudor-arched doorway with a moulded lintel inscribed "1723" and a very small window on the first floor. On the left side, the first bay has double-chamfered stone mullion windows with two and five lights at ground level (partly blocked) under a single hoodmould, and a nine-part top-hung casement window on the first floor. The second bay on the right has one similar window on each floor and a doorway next to the porch.
The left return wall, which slightly breaks back at the outshut, features a large recessed window in the first part and a small window in the outshut, both with glazing bars. The rear wall has a modern porch and two windows. Inside, the housepart in the first bay contains two fine ovolo-moulded beams with cyma stops.
