Martin House Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built in the later 17th century, with alterations to the windows in the 18th or 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed sandstone with quoins, and has a stone slate roof. It is an end-baffle-entry plan with a continuous rear outshut, and an attached granary wing. The front is two storeys high, with a single-storey rear section under a catslide roof. A porch with a lean-to roof, a chamfered Tudor-arched outer doorway, and a boarded inner door is located at the left end of the front, aligned with the left gable chimney. To the right of the porch are two square windows on each floor, with splayed stone heads. On the left gable wall is a two-light sliding sash window at ground floor, and a similar three-light window above. The right gable wall has an external brick chimney stack, a blocked mullioned window at first floor partly covered by the stack, a similar blocked attic window, and a three-light chamfered mullion window towards the rear of the first floor, partially obscured by a lean-to washhouse. The rear has a two-light sliding sash window to the outshut of the second bay, a small two-light window under the eaves in the centre, and a lean-to porch in the angle with the granary. The granary, overlapping the rear left corner, is single-bay, two storeys high, and has steps up the rear gable to the loft door, a three-light sliding sash window in the outer side, and another in the front gable. An altered window sits above. The interior, according to the owner, features an inglenook fireplace with a cambered bressumer, similar beams, a dog-leg staircase, and timber-framed wattle-and-daub partition walls.
