Description
Seals Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse constructed of brick with a Swithland slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features four bays, with a central doorway that has a five-panelled door beneath an elegant flat canopy supported by tightly curved console brackets. On each floor, there are two windows on either side of the doorway, all of which are three-light casements. The ground floor windows are transomed and have deep flat arched brick heads. The farmhouse has a gable and an axial stack that is positioned at the back of the entrance. To the left, a length of wall connects the house to the gable of an 18th-century barn, which is made of red brick with blue headers and has an asbestos roof. At right angles to this structure is the garden wall, which features a deep domed recess with a round archway and a Swithland slate roof.
