Villa Farmhouse

Villa Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century, with extensions added in the mid-18th century and late 19th century, along with later alterations. It features a timber frame with rendered infill, and the mid-18th century section is set on a high plinth made of regularly coursed limestone blocks, while the later additions are built of painted brick. The roof is covered with slate.

The building has a basic L-shape, with the 17th-century gabled range projecting to the right and a long range to the left, which includes a lower 19th-century addition. It is two storeys high, with a semi-basement on the left side of the 18th-century part. The framing of the 17th-century section has square panels, with four panels from the cill to the wall-plate, and long straight tension braces. The first floor of the gable features a hewn jetty with carved corner brackets and V-struts from the collar. The rear is clad in corrugated iron with double-purlin ends.

The 18th-century section has light vertical posts and long straight tension braces. The first floor of the gable has five multi-paned 19th-century casements set in panels of framing, while three casements are located below the bressumer on the ground floor. There is a two-light leaded casement at the angle between the 18th-century range and a 20th-century French window below it. The 18th-century range has 20th-century casements on either side of a roughly central six-panel door. A 19th-century casement lights the semi-basement on the left. The right side features a red brick ridge stack with plain bands, and an external end stack is located on the left. The late 19th-century addition has two contemporary casements on each floor at the front. At the rear of the 18th-century range, there is a two-storey outshut made of uncoursed limestone rubble.

The interior could not be inspected during the resurvey in September 1986, but it is likely to be of interest.
