Batchcott Farmhouse

Batchcott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with 19th-century alterations. It features a painted timber-frame construction with both painted and unpainted panels set on a stone plinth, and a stone rubble cross wing. The roofs are covered with plain tiles. The main range has a projecting stone ridge stack with a brick shaft, which is now enclosed in an extension, and the cross wing has a stepped stone eaves chimney with a diminished brick shaft.

The exterior is single storey with an attic and has a two-window range. The ground floor has casement windows, while the eaves are penetrated by 19th-century half-dormers above. There are two plain boarded doors in simple door frames, with all openings featuring upper weathering-boards and set in restored square framing that is four panels high with raised eaves. To the right, a gable-end return is masked by a central chimney and a single-storey range with an altered truss showing raised eaves on both the front and back.

On the right side, there are single-storey service bays with a plain door that has top lights and side lights, all set in a rectangular thin-section timber-frame that is two panels high. To the left is the 18th-century cross wing with a gable end, which has a single window on both the first and ground floors, featuring segmental stone lintels and multi-pane casements. At the rear, there is a bricked-up ground-floor door set in square framing that is three panels deep, with unpainted brick infill panels. There is also a single-storey projecting tiled gabled extension. The cross wing gable end to the right has a single multi-pane casement with a segmental stone arch, and there are single-storey service bays to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
