Description
Fisherfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1692, as indicated on the lintel. It is constructed of dressed stone with a stone slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The building is a two-unit house, two storeys high, with an aisle at the rear. It features a stone plinth, stone quoins, and a slightly pointed lintel above a chamfered doorway. On the ground floor, there is a 4-light window to the left and a 6-light window to the right, both with double chamfered mullions and hoodmoulds that have dropped spiral stops. The upper floor has a sequence of windows from left to right: a 4-light, a 2-light (originally a 3-light), a 3-light, and a 2-light mullioned window, all of which are flush except for the third window, which is recessed. The rear elevation includes a 2-light and a 3-light window, along with four small 1-light openings that have semi-circular heads. Inside, the ground floor features longitudinally running chamfered beams. The aisle-posts have flared jowls that support the arcade plate and are complemented by curved bracing. There is also one heavily moulded beam on the upper floor, which may be a reused element, located below the main tie beam.
