Description
Primrose Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of English garden wall bond brick and rendered brick, topped with a slate roof and featuring brick chimneys. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys high. The farmyard front includes two ground floor windows with segmental arches and one similar window on the first floor to the left. There is a central buttress on the ground floor. The entrance front has been rendered and significantly altered in the 19th century. Inside, there is a large kitchen with an inglenook fireplace, featuring a bead-moulded bressumer and stopped ceiling beams. The parlour has two beams in the 17th century style, adorned with large bead moulding and an intertwining plain band of moulding that creates a repeating figure-of-eight pattern, which includes triple-leafed rosettes. The ground floor is finished with flagged floors throughout.
