Description

Walford Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house, with some minor later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick resting on a red sandstone plinth, topped with a hipped slate roof that features ridge stacks on both the left and right, each with dentilled capping. The building has two storeys and is adorned with a dentilled eaves cornice, along with single-storey hip-roofed ranges on either side.

The front of the farmhouse showcases three widely spaced segmental-headed three-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor, each fitted with narrow segmental-headed top-hung casements, positioned to either side of the central entrance. The entrance itself features a fluted demi-columned doorcase with a bracketed flat hood, a flush six-panel door, and a plain rectangular overlight above. The flanking single-storey ranges each have a three-light casement window at the front.
