Description

The Old Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into four flats, built around 1865 for James Hegan. It is constructed from coursed, rock-faced red sandstone and features a graduated Welsh slate roof.

The building is two storeys high with an attic and has three bays, with twin wings at the rear. It has a chamfered plinth and large quoins. The central porch is one storey tall and is flanked by low diagonal buttresses, leading to a pair of doors under a two-centred arch and a relieving arch. Below the gable, there is a blind shield set in a recess, topped with ashlar copings.

To the left of the porch, there is a window with a transomed three-light casement in a chamfered, quoined surround beneath a relieving arch, and a similar two-light window is located on the right. The first floor features two-light windows that match those below. Dormer windows in the first and third bays have ashlar surrounds and hipped roofs, with a glazed triangular vent in the centre. The building has shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings, a finial at the right end, and an offset end stack on the left. The right side of the building includes a centred, one storey bay window.

This farmhouse is included for its group value in relation to the planned farm buildings nearby.
