Place House Farmhouse

Place House Farmhouse is a farmhouse, likely built in the late 17th century, with some alterations. It is constructed of handmade brick, featuring a rendered plinth and quoins, topped with a slate roof. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan and a short full-height outshut at the rear of the first bay. It stands two storeys tall and includes a 2-course band. The doorway aligns with the ridge chimney at the junction of the second and third bays, and there are three windows on each floor. All windows are 19th-century four-pane sashes, except for the enlarged window on the ground floor right. The rear has mostly similar 19th-century windows, including a nine-pane stairlight in the outshut, and a single-storey lean-to extension attached to the third bay. Inside, the housepart in the middle bay features an inglenook fireplace with a bressummer, two service doorways at the other end, and a doglegged staircase in the outshut. The detailed character of the original features is concealed by modern surface decoration.
