Description
Cobhall Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 15th or 16th century, with extensions and alterations from the 17th and 18th centuries. It has a timber-frame structure with brick infill, partly rendered, and features a roof made of Welsh slate and tiles. The building has a large central brick chimney and an irregular layout, consisting of a main range running north to south, a cross-wing to the south, and another wing extending eastward at the north end. It includes a cellar and two storeys.
The south elevation is rendered and has three windows with 3-light late 20th-century glazing bar casements. The ground floor features two additional windows of the same style, one on each side of the entry, which has a ledged door located in the right gable. The west elevation showcases a 17th-century timber porch with a low, 2-centred outer arched lintel that supports splat balusters, with three more splat balusters on each return. The doorway within the porch has jambs with deep mouldings that extend into tassel motifs at their bases. To the right, there is a 4-light mullioned and transomed oriel window with ovolo moulding, featuring a wrought-iron casement and glazed with quarries, set within irregular timber framing.
The north wing displays more regular exposed framing, consisting of three panels high from the cill to the wall-plate. Attached to the east end of the north wing is a brick extension from the 18th or early 19th century. The interior includes panelled ceilings in the ground floor room of the south cross-wing, and there are noted elaborate Jacobean carvings on a fireplace overmantel, a carved frieze with dolphins, and doorways with 4-centred heads.
