The Farmhouse

The Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century and 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century. It features a rendered timber frame, which has been partly rebuilt using painted coursed sandstone rubble and 19th-century brick, topped with a plain tile roof that has three spans. The building has a roughly square plan consisting of three parallel ranges and stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic.

On the south front, there is a roughly central brick stack in the first valley, a truncated external rubble and brick end stack to the right, and a 20th-century external brick lateral stack at the rear. The front has two windows, featuring late 19th-century three-light wooden casements with segmental heads on the ground floor. An off-centre boarded door to the left is sheltered by a 19th-century gabled brick porch. The building has triple-gabled return fronts.

Inside, the right-hand ground-floor front room boasts moulded beams and a 17th-century fireplace with chamfered reveals, a carved stone lintel, and a fluted frieze. The left-hand ground-floor front room contains a 17th-century fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel that returns to chamfered dressed sandstone reveals. On the first-floor landing, there is an early 18th-century corner cupboard with a pair of doors featuring three raised and fielded panels each, H-hinges, flanking fluted pilasters with moulded bases and capitals, a moulded round arch, and a dentil cornice that breaks forward over a key with three flutes and a shaped lower edge. Chamfered beams are present throughout the building, and the ground-floor rear room likely has 16th-century chamfered wide joists, chamfered posts, and timber-framed dividing walls. Many early 18th-century panelled doors are also found within the farmhouse.
