Description
Booth's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1663, with late 19th-century alterations. It is constructed from very large coursed dressed red sandstone and features a tiled roof with verge parapets and corbelled kneelers. There is a brick end stack to the left and a ridge stack left of centre. The building has a long, low two-storey front with three windows.
On the left side, there are two widely spaced labelled chamfered mullioned casements, one with two lights and the other with four lights, on the ground floor. The right side has a similar four-light window beneath a later 19th-century two-light casement, which is the only window on the first floor. The elevation is divided to the right of centre by a two-storey gabled porch projection that has a greater eaves height than the house itself. The gable is blind except for a small oculus in the centre of the first floor, set in a square block with inscribed circles at the angles, and there is a later 'peephole' at the ground floor.
The original entrance is located to the right side of the porch, but it is now blocked. This entrance features a Tudor arch with moulded inset spandrels and a two-light mullioned casement above. The rear elevation includes a large dormer with four labelled mullioned lights, which may have been constructed later than the main body of the house. This dormer is dated on an inset plaque in a moulded surround, with "AB" presumably referring to a member of the Booth family from 1663.
