Description
Peacock House Farmhouse is a farmhouse, originally built in the 17th century and now functioning as a house. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and features a renovated roof made of stone slates. The building has a chimney on the ridge and another chimney at each gable. The layout follows a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with the first bay added shortly after the initial construction.
The farmhouse has two storeys. To the left of the second bay, there is a two-storey gabled porch that includes a round-headed opening with crude voussoirs, stone side-benches, and a modern glazed inner door that protects a studded board door within. On the first floor, there is a modern three-light casement window with a rectangular stone head. To the left of the porch, there is a blocked doorway and one three-light stone mullion window on each floor. To the right of the porch, there are four similar windows of slightly irregular size, and between the second and third bays, there is a vertical tear-joint. The left return wall features a first-floor doorway that is accessed by external steps, with a matching parapet that is modern.
At the rear, there is a round-headed window and a two-light stone mullion window in the first bay, along with a three-light stone mullion window in the outshut of the third bay, and a modern two-storey extension to the second bay.
Inside, in the second bay, there is an inglenook with a stone heck and a cyma-stopped ovolo-moulded bressummer. Similar moulded beams can be found in the parlour of the third bay. A timber-framed partition separates the second and third bays, with a Tudor-arched doorway incorporated at ground level. There is a smokehood on the first floor, and original board doors are present, some featuring wooden pull-handles.
