Description
Curwen Hill Farmhouse is a mid 18th century house with an early 19th century barn adjoining to the northwest, which contains early 18th century elements. The farmhouse is built of squared sandstone and has a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The windows are three-light with stone surrounds that have a slight chamfer and flat-faced mullions. The door, located between the bays, features a plain stone surround and a flagstone hood supported by brackets. Above the door is an illegible plaque. A chimney is situated on the right-hand gable.
The barn, located to the right of the farmhouse, has a lower tile roof. Its wide entrance features a segmental arch with a keystone inscribed with the date '1718'. On either side of the entrance are doors with long-and-short jambs. To the left, there is a window with plain reveals and a similar pitching hole above it. Inside the barn, the roof trusses include collars and tie beams, with some of the tie beams made of softwood. The quoins on the left side of the facade and the inscribed date suggest that the barn predates the house, but the stonework tooling and the softwood tie beams indicate that it underwent rebuilding in the 19th century.
