Plant House Farmhouse

Plant House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1609, with a later 17th-century stone addition and 20th-century alterations and additions. The building is primarily timber-framed, resting on an ashlar and rubble plinth, with the remainder constructed from coursed squared buff sandstone rubble. It features a purple tile roof and two brick chimneys. The farmhouse has a long rectangular plan, evolving from a two-room gable entry into a cross-passage. It is 1½ storeys high with a four-bay east front. The left two bays project and are 20th-century extensions. The remaining structure has eight by two timber small frames with angle bracing of the wall plate, two two-light casements, and an added gabled dormer. The west front has a raised roof and cement rendering, but the right end displays rubble walling. Inside, there is a reset wooden door lintel carved with "RD 1609." The entry features a heck post and screen with chamfered ceiling beams, and the parlour beyond has a weakly ovolo-moulded ceiling beam.
