Description
Fields Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1680, with the roof raised in the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, with red brick on the first floor. The plain-tiled roof features a ridge stack that has been rebuilt above the ridge. The farmhouse has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high. On the first floor, there are two 19th-century casement windows, while the ground floor has two windows in enlarged openings. To the left, there is a doorway in its original opening, which has 19th-century flush panels. The date of construction is inscribed in a stone panel on the front wall.
Attached to the left is a dairy, now used as a kitchen, which was also built in 1680 and uses similar materials. This structure is one storey with a loft and features two stable doorways, one of which is now glazed, along with a narrower kitchen doorway. Inside the farmhouse, there is a stop-chamfered main beam and back-to-back inglenook hearths with a chamfered lintel.
