Description

Bourne's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1688 that has been altered over time. It is constructed of brick, with some stone elements, including a stone plinth and some stone quoins. The roof is slate, featuring a modern chimney located behind the ridge and another on the left side wall. The building has an L-shaped, three-bay plan, with the first bay designed as a receding crosswing and a 19th-century outshut at the rear of the first and second bays.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a chamfered stone plinth on the first two bays and a stone base on the third bay. The front wall is made of 19th-century brick and has a gabled section in the first bay. There is a board door located at the junction of the second and third bays, along with three 19th-century windows on each floor. Above the door, there is a square datestone inscribed with the letter "S" in relief. The right gable wall features two vertically aligned doors marked "T A 1688," with the upper door blocked.

The rear of the wing displays quoins, a small stairlight with a hoodmould that indicates a former three-light window, a first-floor window with a similar hoodmould, one ground floor window, and a blocked attic light. The original rear wall of the second bay is made of stone. Inside, there are some quarter-round moulded beams, star-patterned splat balusters on the dogleg stair, and large roof trusses that are visible, with low tie beams—one located approximately two metres from the chimney stack, which may have originally served as a smoke bay.
