Description
Heath Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the early 19th century. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with brick dressings, and has a plain tile twin-span roof with gabled ends and dentil eaves. The roof is punctuated by gable end stacks with short brick shafts. The building follows a double-depth plan, with two main front rooms: a hall-kitchen on the right and a parlour on the left, separated by an entrance lobby and a straight staircase. The rear of the house features a back kitchen to the left and a back staircase and dairy to the right.
The symmetrical three-bay southeast front features large 19th-century three-light casement windows on the ground floor, and smaller two-light casement windows on the first floor, all with glazing bars and cambered brick arches. The central doorway has a 19th-century six-panel door with an applied board above, and a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars. The rear elevation has two-light casement windows, also with glazing bars, and a central doorway with a 20th-century door and a large, open-sided, 20th-century lean-to shelter.
The interior is relatively simple but largely complete. It contains panelled doors on the ground floor and plank doors on the first floor. The hall-kitchen has a large fireplace with a simple chimneypiece and flanking panelled cupboard doors. There are simple moulded chamber chimneypieces. A 20th-century range is present in the back kitchen, and the dairy has brick arcaded shelves.
