Hargrove Farmhouse

Hargrove Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two houses, dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed of squared sandstone rubble with quoins and features a stone slate roof with copings on the original block. The building was originally two storeys high and had three bays, with an entrance located in a gabled cross-wing on the right side, which does not project. There is an axial stack in the main range, a gable stack in the cross-wing, and a staircase located in an outshut at the back.

The rear of the cross-wing was soon extended at right angles to create a cranked plan. The doorway features chamfered jambs, a Tudor-arched lintel, and a studded oak door. To the left of the doorway on the ground floor are a four-light window, a two-light fire window, and a two-light window at a lower level. On the first floor, there is a three-light window above the door, a four-light window, a square recess for a datestone, and a three-light mullioned and transomed window from a room accessed from the staircase landing.

The right-hand return facade of the cross-wing has ground floor windows with three, four, and four lights, and three three-light windows above. The gable facade of the extension features a seven-light window on the ground floor, a five-light window above, and a blocked three-light window in the attic. All windows are double chamfered under separate hoodmoulds and have ovolo-moulded mullions, except for those on the first floor of the cross-wing, which have hollow-chamfered mullions. The right-hand return of the extension has a deeply projecting lateral stack.

Inside, notable features include a stone dog-leg staircase and a fireplace in the front room of the cross-wing, which has a cambered lintel designed to resemble voussoirs and rests on jowled jambs.
