Description
Village Farmhouse is a farmhouse with an attached cottage and barn, now combined as a house and store. The house is dated 1669 on the lintel of its doorway, while the former barn is likely from the 18th century and has been altered. The house is constructed of large blocks of sandstone ashlar, now strap-pointed at the first floor, and features a stone slate roof and a brick chimney. The former barn is made of white-painted brick, also with a stone slate roof and a brick chimney. The house has a two-unit end-baffle-entry plan, and the former barn is attached to the south gable wall.
The exterior of the house consists of two low storeys and two windows, with a chamfered plinth and a continuous cavetto-moulded drip-band at the ground floor. There is a Tudor-arched doorway to the left with a chamfered surround, a large lintel inscribed with "I E / 1669," and a drip-band stepped above it. The ground floor features double-chamfered stone mullion windows with five and three lights, while the upper floor has three-light windows. Both gables have stone copings, and there is a rebuilt brick chimney on the left side. The attached range on the left, also two storeys high, has 20th-century windows on each floor in the bay next to the house, with more scattered windows beyond.
Inside, the former longitudinal partition of the service end has been removed. Collectively, all the buildings in the Little Crosby Conservation Area create a valuable group with similar scale but varied dates, materials, and styles.
