Description

New Close Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century. It features rendered walls and a stone slate roof, standing two storeys high with three bays. The near central doorway is set within a recent glazed porch. The windows are double-chamfered, including a four-light window to the left of the porch and a six-light window with a king-mullion to the right, although two mullions have been removed. The first floor has three four-light windows, each retaining only the central mullion. A continuous throated dripmould runs over the ground floor, and the gable copings are chamfered on moulded kneelers. The farmhouse has gable stacks and a steep roof pitch. On the rear elevation, there is one four-light window and three two-light windows on the ground floor, along with three four-light windows on the first floor, each with only central mullions remaining. There are small additions to each gable end. Inside, there is a massive roughly stop-chamfered bressumer beam in front of the fireplace.
