Description
Evanall Farmhouse is an early 19th-century remodelling of an earlier building dating from the early to mid-17th century, with later additions and alterations. The farmhouse is constructed of red brick, including narrow bricks in an English bond with blue brick diaper patterns to the rear of the right gable. It has slate roofs with coped verges, carved stone kneelers, and an original T-plan consisting of a hall range with a gabled cross-wing projecting to the right. This cross-wing was remodelled in the early 19th century in a Tudor Gothic style, forming a present H-plan. The farmhouse is two storeys and attics, with a 1:2:1 bay arrangement. The central section features a low pedimented gable.
The early 19th century saw the insertion of cast-iron latticed mullioned and transomed windows of three lights to the ground floor and of two lights to the first floor, each with moulded dripstones. Blind openings to the attics of the gables also have moulded dripstones, surmounted by square heraldic shields: the left gable displays a raised letter "E", and the right gable a carving of two horses, a bird, and rosettes to the outer moulding of the shield. The main entrance is positioned in the angle with the right gable, featuring a plain pilastered doorcase with a four-panel door and a rectangular latticed overlight. Decorative downpipes, with rosette emblems to the lead rainwater heads, are located in the angles of the gables.
The red brick ridge stack to the left of the main range has twin diagonal shafts, while prominent external lateral stacks, also with rebuilt twin diagonal shafts (the front dating to the 19th century and the rear being 17th century), are found at the right gable. A lower early 19th-century range extends to the left of the left gable, incorporating a blind window to the first floor and a cast-iron latticed mullioned and transomed window with a tumbled head to the ground floor. It also features a dentilled eaves cornice and an integral end stack. An early 19th-century gabled range is positioned at right angles to the rear on the left; it has a toothed eaves cornice. A 19th-century lean-to porch is situated in the space between this range and the rear projection of the right gable.
The interior has been considerably altered in the early 19th century, with boxed-in ceiling beams in the ground-floor rooms. A wide staircase with stick balusters is located to the right of the passage behind the main entrance. Panelled doors and 19th-century cast-iron grates are present in the fireplaces of the first-floor rooms. A datestone inscribed "1703" was reportedly discovered during restoration work around 1980 at the junction between the main range and the addition to the rear on the left.
