Description

Unwin Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with later alterations and additions. It is built of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof with coped verges on kneelers. The house has an engineering brick ridge stack to the left of center and a stone block ridge stack to the right. It has a lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high with three bays. The windows are glazing bar casements, consisting of three lights, except for the first floor on the right, which has two lights. The ground floor windows have straight hood moulds and replace earlier mullioned windows. There is a half-glazed door to the left of center. The ground floor right of center shows a straight joint and quoins, while there is a horizontal joint and change in masonry at the first floor level. To the left, there is a low kitchen extension with a 20th-century casement. Structural evidence indicates that the house originally began as a two-room single-storey dwelling, was first extended to the southeast, and later had its eaves level raised with a first floor added. A single-storey kitchen extension was then added to the southwest.
