Description
Meadow Place Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with early 18th century and 19th century alterations. It is constructed of coursed dressed stone and features a cavetto string at the first-floor level. The roof is tiled with a cyma recta eaves band, and there are verge parapets along with a ridge stack located behind the main entrance and an end stack to the right.
The building is two stories high and has a three-window front, with the windows widely spaced towards the left. Three windows remain: one in the right-hand bay and one in the centre of the ground floor, both featuring narrowly spaced chamfered mullions of three lights. The remaining windows, which are of similar dimensions and in the original reveals, have been modified to paired lights with small-pane casements.
There are string steps leading up to the principal entrance, which is located to the left of centre and has a Tudor arch with a 20th-century panelled door. There is also a later entrance to the left end and a blocked door to the right of centre. The blocked door is set against a straight joint, which is quoined to the left and extends up to the first-floor window level, indicating that the right-hand bay is an early addition. This addition also involved raising the eaves.
Inside, there is a reset stone found near the site, now incorporated into the chimney breast of the right-hand room. This stone, likely of medieval origin and possibly from a monastic setting, depicts a head and a bestiary.
