Description
Sudell House Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been altered over time. It features white-painted roughcast on stone and a slate roof that is set at two levels. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with a two-bay main range and a projecting two-bay left wing. It stands two storeys high, with the wing being taller.
The south front has a plinth and displays a mix of altered windows, including three large ones in the main range and three smaller ones in the wing's gable. One of the smaller windows serves as a stairlight for a staircase located in the re-entrant, where the roof of the wing slopes down to the eaves level of the main range. There is no entrance on the south side, but a ridge chimney situated between the two bays of the main range indicates that there was likely a former baffle-entrance aligned with it. The wing also has its own ridge chimney.
On the right gable wall, there is one window on each floor, both featuring hoodmoulds; the lower window has a double-recessed lintel, while the upper one is a sliding sash. The rear gable of the wing includes a four-light mullioned window, which is partly hidden by a raised tank, and remnants of another window that has been altered into a door. Additionally, there is a three-light casement at the first floor, all of which have hoodmoulds.
Inside, the housepart in the left bay of the main range contains a full-span bressummer in front of a modern fireplace, along with two longitudinal beams, all featuring cyma-stopped chamfers. The wing has similar beams in the front parlour and at the first floor, with the latter supported by stone corbels. The parlour door has two narrow vertical recessed panels. The doglegged staircase is notable for its rectangular newels, broad moulded string, turned balusters, and stout handrail.
