Description
Heyes Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse that has been altered and is now used as a house. It is constructed of handmade red brick in English garden wall bond, with some parts rendered, and sits on a high stone plinth. The building features a slate roof and has a rectangular double-depth double-fronted plan, including a front porch and an added service wing at the rear.
The farmhouse is two storeys plus attics and has an almost symmetrical facade with three windows on each floor. The stone plinth is made of large squared blocks nearly 2 metres high, and there is a two-course band that does not continue around the building. The front porch is full-height and gabled, positioned slightly to the left of centre, featuring a round-headed archway with a 20th-century glazed inner door and a blocked one-light window above. The upper and lower floors have tall segmental-headed windows with raised sills and gauged brick heads. The left side wall at the first floor has been rebuilt.
The gable ends have chimneys, and the left gable wall, which has scored render, includes a glazed porch leading to a 19th-century doorway and two small four-pane attic windows. The right gable wall has two blocked attic windows. At the rear, there is a 19th-century single-storey service wing with a tall gable chimney.
