Description
Hough Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, built in 1725 and altered over time. It is constructed of brown brick in English garden wall bond and has a clay tile roof. The building has two storeys and features two windows. There is a plain three-course band at the first floor level. The original three-light leaded casements have been replaced and are set under soldier-arches. Above the upper window-heads, there is stone inscribed with "IS:H:1725". Each end-gable has a corbelled chimney with a plinth and separated chamfered flues. At the rear, there is a lower wing with a stone-slate roof, which includes a framed and boarded door in a recessed porch and two sprocketted dormers, one of which has a brick-mullioned window. The interior could not be inspected, but some oak-framed partitions and oak beams are visible. The farmhouse is listed for its group value.
