Description
Ford Hayes Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tiled roof, along with a ridge and gable stack. The building is two storeys high and follows a three-bay lobby-entry plan.
On the south front, there are two three-light casement windows on the right and a single two-light casement window on the left. Above these, there are two three-light casements on the right and a single two-light casement on the left. The north front has two two-light casements on the left and a single-storey addition on the right, which has an asbestos lean-to beyond it. Above this addition, there is a three-light casement on the right and two on the left.
This farmhouse is historically significant as the birthplace of Hugh Bourne, the founder of the Primitive Methodist movement, who was born here on April 3rd, 1772, and lived in the house until 1788.
