Description
Porters Farmhouse and Carr Cottage is a house, likely built in the early 18th century. It is constructed of brick with scored render and has a corrugated iron roof that has replaced the original thatch, while the two right-hand bays are covered with slate. The building is two storeys high and features five bays. The windows are modern with plain reveals, and those on the first floor are positioned under the eaves. The fourth bay, which has a door to its right, is a later addition that is less architecturally significant and set back from the main facade; it belongs to Carr Cottage. The third bay is shared between the farmhouse on the ground floor and the cottage on the first floor. The farmhouse doorway is located between the first and second bays, sheltered by a single-storey gabled porch. There are chimneys on the end walls of the main house and to the right of the door. Inside, the two main rooms of the farmhouse each feature two chamfered axial main ceiling joists.
