Sheepcote Farmhouse

Sheepcote Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century and late 18th century, with later alterations. It features a timber frame with wattle-and-daub and lath-and-plaster infill, and is clad in rubble with a slate roof. The building has a U-shaped plan, with a front range consisting of five framed bays. The left wing has two framed bays, while the right wing has one framed bay with an additional two bays of stone. There are stacks located at the junction between the rear wings and the front range. The U was infilled in the 19th century, creating a two-storey structure with an attic, which is lit by three mid-20th century gabled dormers.

The front has five windows, all of which are two-light mid-20th century casements. The ground floor features irregular fenestration with 19th century casements under segmental heads arranged in a pattern of 4:2:3:2 lights. The central entrance is sheltered by a flat canopy supported by wooden posts, with the sides closed off by trellis work. The entrance features a four-panelled door set within a broad moulded timber architrave. The framing is visible on the rear elevation and internally, and it is likely that the original design included four square panels high to the wall-plate. Although the main posts are covered in wallpaper, the jowelled heads can still be seen on the first floor.
