Description

The Farmhouse is an 18th-century house constructed of coursed squared stone, topped with a corrugated iron roof featuring brick ridge and end stacks. The gables are stone coped and face the front to the left. The building has two storeys. On the first floor, there are four renewed wooden mullion and transom windows: a 3-light window on the left, followed by a 2-light window, and then two 3-light windows. The ground floor has similar windows, with a 3-light casement on the left and a plank door beneath a 2-light window. At the rear, there is a full-length outshut that includes a 3-light casement, a boarded window, and a door made of corrugated iron. Inside, the house features chamfered beams and two inglenooks, one of which has been filled in.
