Description

Grove Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1683, with alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from squared and thinly coursed yellow sandstone and features a plain tile roof. The building has a T-plan layout with a projecting gabled cross-wing to the southwest. It stands two storeys tall with a gable-lit attic.

On the northwest front, there is a large integral lateral stack on the right-hand side of the cross-wing, which has a stone lower part and a pitched-roofed link to the attic. The upper part of the stack is made of late 19th-century brick and features a reset datestone. The windows have been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The main range to the left has a 19th-century two-light wooden casement on the first floor to the right, a blocked window to the left, and a 20th-century two-light wooden casement on the ground floor to the left with a blocked window to the right. The cross-wing to the right has a 20th-century two-light attic casement, a 20th-century wooden casement on the first floor to the left, a blocked window in the centre, and a ground-floor 19th-century segmental-headed three-light wooden casement to the left with a blocked window in the centre. There is a sealed 19th-century door in the left-hand return front, which has a lean-to stone porch in the angle.

The right-hand return front of the cross-wing features two 20th-century casements on each floor. There is a 20th-century porch adjoining the main range to the left, which has a 20th-century panelled door. At the rear, there is a catslide roof over a lean-to kitchen addition with an integral brick stack. The interior has not been inspected, but chamfered beams and a corner fireplace have been noted.
