Description

Rock Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 18th century and was altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble limestone and features stone slates on the main house, with pantile roofing on the left part. The building has two storeys, with the left part being lower, and displays a 1:2 arrangement of first-floor windows. It has large quoins and horizontally-sliding sash windows with glazing bars, projecting stone sills, and plain lintels.

The main house on the right has a central panelled door set in a bonded ashlar surround with a plain lintel. There are flanking windows on each floor, with the ground-floor right window featuring a later casement. Above the door, there is a hexagonal light with a casement. The building is adorned with shaped kneelers and gable copings, and the end stacks have been rebuilt in yellow brick.

The lower part on the left includes a door leading into a 20th-century conservatory and a window on each floor to the right. There is an old doorway from the farmyard set down to the left, which has a chamfered, quoined surround and a shaped soffit to the lintel, with two blocked slit vents above. The left return of the building features external stone steps and evidence of raised eaves in the gable walling.
