Description

Kinson Farmhouse, along with an attached malthouse and a wall to the southwest, is a farmhouse that dates from the late 18th century and is a rebuild of an earlier, probably 17th-century, timber-framed core. The structure is built of brick with a storey band on a rubble plinth that has a moulded brick capping, and it features a stone rubble rear wing. The roof is made of old tiles, with the rear wing covered in slate. The farmhouse has projecting stepped brick gable-end stacks with tiled offsets, and the stack at the north end is built off a stone lower stage. The front range has been rebuilt in brick, and there is a 19th-century parallel rear extension that serves as the malthouse.

The exterior is two stories high with an attic and cellar. The west front features a five-window range of timber mullion and transom casements set in brick segmental arched openings, with two first-floor windows that have been blocked with brick. There are two timber mullion and transom windows on the ground floor with cambered heads and brick segmental arches, flanking a 19th-century projecting brick porch that has an arched opening. The inner door is a six-panelled door with top lights, also set in a brick segmental arched opening. The south return has a two-light casement with a brick segmental arch to the right of the stack and an attic casement to the left. The north return features a two-light casement with leaded lights to the left of the stack and an attic casement to the right. There is a plain cellar door. The rear lean-to malthouse extension has rubble stone walls, a slate roof, and two-light casements with brick sills and lintels on both floors, flanking central steps that lead to a plain boarded door. The north return side has plain boarded openings.

Inside, the 19th-century interiors are generally complete, including a kitchen range made by Rickards of Ludlow. There are twin chamfered bridging beams in each bay on both floors. The malthouse at the rear is reputed to have its complete original fittings.

The subsidiary features include a wall to the southwest that is approximately 2.5 meters high, made of stone rubble with a brick upper stage, and it has a double-seat privy at the south end.
