Grove House Farmhouse

Grove House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century, with additions and alterations from the 17th century and early 19th century. It features a timber frame with brick infill, red Flemish bond brick, and a slate roof. The building has two storeys and a T-shaped plan.

The entrance front, which forms the cross stroke of the T, is from the early 19th century and consists of three symmetrically arranged bays. At the center of the ground floor is a panelled wooden door surround with an open pediment, featuring a six-panel door and a fanlight above. Flanking the door are sash windows with four panels each, set on ashlar sills and topped with wedge lintels that have projecting triple keystones. The first floor also has three similar windows.

On the left side, there is a blank gable end to the right, while to the left is the 16th-century wing, which has been refaced in the 17th and again in the 19th century, topped with a stone slate roof. This side is primarily constructed of 19th-century brick and features 20th-century windows, including a single window on the right and a three-light window on the left, with a doorway left of center. The first floor has two-light raking semi-dormer windows on both sides.

The right side has a similar blank gable end on the left, with the older wing recessed to the right. This section has brick walling on both the ground and first floors, and to the left, there is an ovolo-moulded bressumer embedded in the wall, supporting close studding with an angle brace on the left.

Inside, the ground floor features 17th-century chamfered ceiling beams and a pair of base crucks resting on sandstone plinths, originally having two spurs each and a collar beam. Niches in the sides of the crucks indicate that the pitch of the roof has been altered.
