Description
Robinson's End Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the early 18th century, which involved remodelling and enlarging a house from the 17th century. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with dressed quoins and large lintels, while the rear wing is made of red brick. It features a plain tile roof with gabled ends and brick axial stacks.
The farmhouse has a two-room plan for the front (east) range, where the left room is smaller. Both rooms are heated by back-to-back fireplaces located in a central axial stack. There is a stair tower positioned behind the left room, which connects to a two-room plan rear service wing. This rear wing appears to be the original 17th-century house and includes a large fireplace in its axial stack.
The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and has a two-window east range. The windows are framed with quoins and large sandstone lintels that have relieving arches above them. The windows are modern 20th-century two-light casements, and there is no front doorway. The sandstone masonry continues into the base of the stair tower in the rear left (south-west) angle of the rear wing, which is brick above and has a lean-to roof. In the opposite (north-west) angle, there is a doorway with a 19th-century open-sided porch. The rear wing features various casements, a 20th-century conservatory on the south side, and single-storey outbuildings at the west end.
Inside, the rooms in the front (east) range have high ceilings with slightly chamfered cross-beams, and similar chamfered beams are found in the chambers above. The east room in the rear (west) wing has a deeply chamfered axial beam without stops and a large fireplace with an unchamfered timber lintel. The room behind (west) has unchamfered cross-beams. The stair tower features winder stairs with an 18th-century balustrade at the top, which includes moulded balusters, a square newel, and a moulded handrail. The attic chambers in the east range are ceiled, while the rear (west) wing has large side purlins exposed in the chambers, along with a large ridgepiece and old common rafters.
