Description

Cobden Farmhouse is a farmhouse believed to date from 1762. It is constructed of dressed rubble and has a tile roof. The building features a three-bay central-staircase plan and stands two storeys high. Notable architectural details include rusticated quoins and a central door that has a rusticated semi-circular head with a tripartite keystone. There are two ground floor and three first floor 20th-century casement windows, each with rusticated keystone lintels and stone sills. The gable ends have stacks. At the rear, the farmhouse displays stone quoins, four three-light flat-faced mullion windows, and a similar two-light window that has had its mullion removed. A chamfered door surround is present but obscured by a 20th-century porch.
