Description

Jumps Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1690 in the gable of its wing. It has been extended, altered, and recently enlarged. The building is constructed of handmade red brick in English garden wall bond (3+1), with a sandstone plinth and a stone slate roof. The layout is T-shaped, featuring a one-unit main range with a cross-wing to the left and an early extension to the right, which now includes a cross-wing added in 1985.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with one window on the ground floor and two on the first floor, featuring a vertical joint in the center of the main range. There is a doorway immediately to the left of this joint, now covered by a small gabled porch added around 1985. Above the porch, there is a small blocked chamfered window on the first floor. Each side of the porch has a 24-pane fixed window, and there is a 20th-century French window in the gable of the wing. The first floor has three 3-light windows with small panes and top-hung casement openings in the center lights. The gable of the wing features a datestone with raised lettering: T W A 1690. A ridge chimney is aligned with the porch, and there is a corner chimney on the wing.

At the rear, the house part has a segmental-headed 3-light casement window and a blocked segmental-headed fire window at ground floor, with a small blocked window above it similar to the front. The wing has an anciently-blocked segmental-headed stair window, a 2-light sliding sash window at ground floor, and a 3-light casement window above.

Inside, the house part features an ovolo-moulded lateral beam and an inglenook with a cambered bressummer, while the wing has a cross-corner fireplace; otherwise, the interior has been altered.
