Description

Smith Fold Farmhouse is a building from the 17th century or early 18th century, constructed of rubble. It has two storeys and features three chamfered-mullion windows, although some of the mullions are missing. There is a later brick gabled porch with a stone slab roof positioned over the door on the right side. A dripmould runs from above this porch across the middle window, with a separate dripmould over the left-hand window, which is the only one that retains all its mullions. A ridge chimney is located to the right of the middle window. The farmhouse has an old slate roof and parallel beams with wide chamfers.
