Southside Farmhouse

Southside Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with a refronting from the early to mid-18th century and renovations around 1980. It is built of red brick, primarily in Flemish bond, and features a pantile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a two-room central entrance hall on the south front, with a single-room wing at the rear right and a 20th-century outshut in the angle. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has three symmetrical bays.

The farmhouse has a high ovolo-moulded plinth and a recessed 20th-century door beneath a blocked overlight, which is topped with a 20th-century moulded fan and framed by an architrave under a flat brick arch. Above the door is a reset datestone inscribed with "EDWARD." The ground floor features 19th-century four-pane sash windows, with a 18th-century flush wooden architrave to the right and a 20th-century architrave to the left, all beneath cambered brick arches. On the first floor, there are similar four-pane sashes in the side bays with 18th-century flush wooden architraves, and a narrower central sash in a 20th-century architrave. The eaves are boxed, and the gables are brick coped and tumbled with brick kneelers. The building has axial and end stacks.

The right return of the farmhouse includes a pair of 20th-century ground-floor windows, a blocked attic opening to the front range, a 20th-century casement beneath a cambered arch, and two first-floor 12-pane sliding sashes to the rear section. The left return features a blocked door, a small single blocked opening on the ground floor, a pair of similar blocked openings on the first floor, and two blocked openings in the attic.

Inside, there is a good late 17th-century open well staircase, which has a pulvino corniced string, a corniced handrail, bulb-on-urn balusters, and plain newels with profile balusters, ball finials, and pendant drops. The staircase is similar to one found in No. 10 Westgate. The ground-floor rooms have contemporary cyma-chamfered spine beams with tongue stops.
