Description
Tewitfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early to mid-18th century. It features a rubble construction that is rendered and scored, with a slate roof on the front and stone slates on the rear. The building has a two-unit double-pile central-entry plan, with a later 18th-century extension to the left that shares the same roof. It stands two storeys high with attics and has three bays.
All the front windows are sashed. On either side of the front door, there are windows with plain reveals, stone sills, and square-sectioned hood moulds. The first floor has two windows above the door, also with plain reveals and stone sills. The extension on the left has a double sash window on the ground floor and a single sash window on the first floor. The door features a plain stone surround. There are chimneys located on the gables and between the first and second bays.
Inside, the left-hand front room in the extension has a plain stone lintelled fireplace, flanked by lintels over recesses. The middle room at the front contains an 18th-century shouldered stone fireplace. The staircase features a handrail, square newels, and a closed string in a dog-leg design from the 18th century, along with some vertical plank panelling.
