The Balance Farmhouse

The Balance Farmhouse is an estate farmhouse dating to 1838, marked with the initials EBC Greenly. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, brick chimney shafts, and a Welsh slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan with a central entrance and gable-end stacks, and a continuous outbuilding to the rear. It is two storeys high with an attic. The front elevation features a central, gabled, two-storey and attic porch. This porch has a small four-pane window in its gable and a two-centred arched head to its first-floor window, with a square label and decorative glazing. The same arched head applies to the doorway, which has an inner, square-headed doorway with a plain overlight and a 20th-century panelled door. Flanking the porch are multi-pane cast iron windows with segmental heads.
