Description
Rodds Farmhouse is a villa that has been converted into a farmhouse, built around 1833. It features colour-washed stone rubble and a Welsh slate roof, with a central stone ridge stack that has two diagonally set brick chimneys, as well as a twin stack and a single stack at the rear, and a brick lateral stack and rear end stack on the right wing. The building is single storey and has a 4-panel door set in a brick porch with a lancet window in the gable above. This door is flanked by late 19th-century plain sash windows under concrete lintels. The central gable has a blind opening beneath a corbelled stone hood-moulding.
To the right, there is a narrow recessed bay featuring a Gothick light with spandrels, also under a hood-moulding, and a two-storey gable bay that has an altered two-light Gothick window above a three-light Gothick window, both with corbelled hood-mouldings. There is an additional wing to the right that includes a Gothick window in a small gable. The right side of the building has a 20th-century composite tile roof, two 8/8 sash windows, a casement window under a timber plate, and a plank door. At the rear, there are twin gables with cross-windows and a 4/4 sash window.
