Description

Cloud House Farm is a farmhouse dated 1612, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of ashlar-like rubble and features a Welsh slate roof, with a side stack to the right and an end stack to the left. The building has a 'T'-shaped plan, consisting of a hall and a parlour cross wing, which is unusually accessed from the parlour side.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic and has a three-part front on a plinth, featuring three windows. To the right, there is a slightly projecting 17th-century gable with a two-light chamfer mullion attic window above a five-light, cavetto labelled, mullion and transom window on the ground floor, with ovolo moulding on the former and chamfering on the latter. The set-back 17th-century hall range to the left has a range of windows offset to the right, topped by a tall gabled masonry dormer typical of the 17th century, which contains a four-light chamfer mullion window set well into the upper half, along with a painted datestone below. The two windows below this gable have six lights and match the pattern of the adjacent gable.

To the left, there is a lower, set-back late 19th-century wing with a single range of windows; the first-floor window is a re-used three-light, chamfer mullion and transom window from the formerly exposed north gable of the 17th-century house. A 20th-century boarded front door is located to the left of the gable, where a 17th-century window once was. A massive stack is set back to the right, featuring three diagonally-set top-shafts, although only one remains.

Inside, the parlour and hall have chamfered beams on the ceilings, and there is a square-framed timber cross wall between the two rooms. A quartered block staircase leads to the attic.
