Description
Far Barsey Farmhouse is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed of large dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys with a single-storey aisle at the rear and a three-room plan. The exterior includes a weathered plinth and a continuous string course above the ground floor windows. The service end originally had two small chamfered windows, which are now blocked and replaced with 19th-century plain sash windows that have been altered to casements.
The entrance features a basket-arched doorway with a chamfered surround, protected by a mid-20th century open stone porch. Above the doorway is a small two-light chamfered window, and there is a former cross-window, also known as a fire-window. The house has a six-light double chamfered mullioned window with a five-light window above it, as well as a five-light parlour window with a four-light window above. The rear of the house has two-light chamfered mullioned windows that are missing their mullions, along with two doorways that have monolithic jambs. The roof has three stacks along the ridge and one additional stack at the rear aisle.
