Description
Cashheath Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with minor alterations from the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed, dressed, and squared red sandstone of ashlar quality, topped with a tiled roof. The building features verge parapets with pitched copings on corbelled kneelers and has brick stacks at both ends. It stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic, set on a chamfered plinth and adorned with a moulded string at the first floor level.
The front of the farmhouse is exceptionally asymmetrical, with a catslide roof to the left that extends down to the ground floor, featuring a chamfered mullioned two-light window. To the right, the composition is symmetrical, consisting of three windows (all of the same design) and a central projecting gablet that rises well above the eaves level, with a tier of windows descending from the attic (the upper two are labelled). A 19th-century lean-to obscures the frontage on the right side, and the entrance is located on the left-hand side. This farmhouse represents a very complete and unusual example of 17th-century architecture.
