Description
Birch Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1844, built for J and I. Rowe. It features Flemish bond orange brick with some yellow headers and has a pyramidal Welsh slate roof. The building has a central and one lateral brick chimney and is square in plan. The two-storey structure has a symmetrical three-bay south-west front. The end bays contain 16-pane sash windows below and 12-pane sash windows above, both under flat wedged stone heads and with stone sills. The central bay includes a doorway with a semi-circular, gauged and rubbed head over a fanlight with radial glazing bars and a boarded door, with a 12-pane sash window above. At the rear, there is a plaque that reads: BUILT BY J & I ROWE A.D. 1844. The farmhouse is a very complete example of a local type of late Georgian style. The interior has not been inspected.
