Description
Bentley Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone, which is currently painted, and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building is a double-depth, three-bay house with two storeys, characterized by quoins and a projecting plinth. There is a blocked dressed doorway in the first bay and a door in the second bay that has been inserted into what was originally a two-light window. Bays one and four each have a two-light window, while bay three features two-light double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullion windows, with a later window added between them. On the first floor, there are four and ten-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion windows. The farmhouse has a gable chimney stack and includes two and three-light windows on the gable and rear elevations. Additionally, there is a later porch wing attached to the gable.
