Halstead Farmhouse

Halstead Farmhouse is a house dating from 1783. It is constructed of watershot sandstone with a modern tile roof designed to resemble stone slates. The house has a double-pile plan – meaning the rooms are arranged in two parallel rows – with gable chimneys and a central entrance. The facade is two storeys high, and originally comprised two bays. The windows are of three lights, with simple stone surrounds and square mullions. The front door has a cement surround and an open pediment supported by square brackets. Above the door, on the first floor, is a plaque within a rectangular stone surround, bearing an oval border inscribed 'JG 1783'. The rear wall, running parallel to the road, originally had two bays with two-light windows, also with simple stone surrounds and square mullions. A stair window, with a plain stone surround and a semi-circular head featuring a keystone and impost blocks, is located between these bays and divided by a mullion.
