Toad Hole Hill Farmhouse And Two Cottages

Toad Hole Hill Farmhouse and two cottages date from the 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone, with coursed rubble at the rear, and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and consists of five bays, with two slightly later wings at the rear that create an F-plan layout. The facade is well-ordered, featuring two original doorways located at the center and to the right (the latter of which is blocked), along with two 19th-century doorways at the far left and between the fourth and fifth bays. Each doorway has a deep Tudor-arched lintel and a quoined surround. The building includes four 3-light double-chamfered windows, with a continuous dripmould above the doors serving as a hood. The first floor has four 3-light windows and a central 2-light window, all matching the style of those below. The gable copings are hollow-chamfered and rest on moulded kneelers. There are three prominent ashlar stacks located at the ends and the center of the ridge, each featuring a string and cornice. At the rear, the wings to the center and right include a window inscribed with the word "Dary," and the left return of the central wing has two 2-light windows stacked one above the other, with an inserted window between them.
