Fair House Farmhouse

Fair House Farmhouse is a 17th-century house with a timber-framed structure that is concealed by render. It has undergone repairs and additions in brick and features a slate roof. The building has a three-unit, lobby-entrance plan with a total of five bays and two storeys. The original door is located to the right of bay three, with a later door added to bay four. Bay one projects as a gabled crosswing that includes a door in the angle. All the windows are replacement casements, many of which have been altered. A continuous outshut has been added to the rear, and there is a chimney stack on the rear slope.

Inside, the farmhouse contains a remarkably complete pair of back-to-back inglenook fireplaces, complete with smoke hoods. The bressumer beams and other ceiling beams are ovolo-moulded with stepped stops. Various timber-framed components are clearly visible, including some principal posts, king-post roof trusses, and crosswalls, one of which features curved diagonal braces at tie beam level. This building is an important survival in many respects, particularly as an example of timber-framing in an area where little remains.
