Mayo Farmhouse

Mayo Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1635, located in Tarleton. It features a white painted render on handmade brick and a slate roof. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with an addition at the rear of the second and third bays. It stands two storeys tall, with a single-storey gabled porch aligned with a ridge chimney at the junction of the first and second bays. The porch has a slightly-arched outer doorway with panelled raised lettering on the lintel, which is now worn and almost illegible, indicating the date 1635. The inner door is a board door with strap hinges and a pegged wooden doorcase. The first bay is set back, with continued eaves overhanging. There are three windows on each floor, all of which have been altered significantly. The right-hand gable wall features a partly-blocked six-light mullioned window on the first floor, complete with a label. The rear of the building has been altered as well. Inside, the first and second bays contain back-to-back inglenook fireplaces, with the one in the second bay featuring a cyma-stopped chamfered bressummer and two similarly decorated beams tenoned into it. There were formerly two doorways to the third bay, but one is now blocked. The partition between the second and third bays is timber framed with concealed wattle-and-daub panels.
