The Snead Farmhouse

The Snead Farmhouse is a farmhouse and attached cottage that dates back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and mid to late 19th century. The front is constructed of red brick on a coursed rubble plinth, with random limestone rubble at the back and a slate roof featuring a prominent axial ridge stack. The building is designed in a 2-room lobby-entry style and includes a wide, projecting two-storey porch. It stands two storeys high with a garret and has a symmetrical facade with one window on each side. The windows are 20th-century sashes set beneath 19th-century segmental heads, and there is a plain ledged door with a coped gable above the porch. The end gables have brick returns, and the rear features irregularly spaced 19th-century multi-paned leaded casements, three on each floor. Inside, the east room has a very large fireplace with a chamfered lintel, while the west room contains two moulded beams. The cottage, which is now part of the farmhouse, is made of random limestone rubble and has one storey and an attic. It features brick window heads on the ground floor, two gabled eaves dormers, and three casements with Gothic glazing. There is a central ledged door that leads to a bread oven and an axial chimney at the rear, along with tallet steps leading to a blocked doorway on the left. To the left, there is a slightly taller extension with two windows. The overall appearance is picturesque.
