Description

Paa Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of pebbledashed rubble with worn sandstone dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building has a double-pile plan and a central two-storey gabled porch. It stands two storeys high, with one bay on each side of the porch. The windows are mullioned, featuring an outer chamfer and inner ovolo moulding. The first-floor windows consist of three lights, while the ground-floor windows have hoods; the left-hand window has four lights, and the right-hand window is similar but has a missing central mullion. The first floor of the porch extends over a moulded string and has a stepped three-light window with a hood. The door surround is cyma moulded with an elliptical arched head, and the left side of the lintel has a worn 'R' inscribed, which is said to have included the date '1671'. The gable chimneys have offsets, with the right-hand (east) stack projecting. The rear wall also has mullioned windows. Inside, the left-hand front room features a wide fireplace with chamfered jambs and a modern timber lintel, with a bread oven set into its left side. A fireplace inscribed 'RAD 1692' was previously located in the right-hand room but has since been removed.
