Description
Castle Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings. It features a shallow pitched Welsh slate roof with overhanging eaves and brick gable stacks on the main part of the house, while the western wing has a plain tile roof with a stone gable stack. The building is two storeys high and consists of a three-bay main section with a single-bay lower wing to the west.
The central entrance has a doorcase with a glazed panelled door and a wooden porch above. On either side of the entrance are large horizontal glazing bar sliding sash windows set beneath channelled wedge lintels, with a smaller similar window located in the west wing. Above the entrance, there are two matching windows and a central narrower fixed glazing bar window, all featuring wedge lintels. To the west, there is a lower horizontal glazing bar casement window. Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered ceiling beams.
