Description
Goldhurst Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has 17th century remains incorporated into a late 18th century structure, with minor alterations from the mid-19th century and additions from the 20th century. It is built of red brick and features a tiled roof with a dentilled eaves course and stone coped verge parapets, along with an end stack on the right side.
The building is three storeys high and has a five-window front. To the right, there is a composition of three windows: a mix of 3-, 2-, and 3-light casements above tripartite sashes with segmental heads. The central entrance features a mid-19th century gabled single-storey porch with a round arch and a boarded door that is set on the face of the main building. There are two additional windows to the left of this composition, which are now largely 20th century casements.
The left gable, which is mostly obscured by an addition made around 1984, has large blocks of coursed sandstone extending over two storeys beneath raised eaves. It features a blind, labelled 2-light chamfered mullioned window in the former attic, above what may have been a similar 3-light window, which is partly obscured by the extension.
