Description
Asylum Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early to mid-19th century, with a later addition on the left side. It is constructed of Flemish stretcher bond brick and features a black brick dog-tooth cornice. The roof is covered with late 20th-century concrete tiles, and there are brick stacks at the right end and rear, with an additional stack in the left corner of the new section. The building has a central staircase plan and stands three storeys tall with a three-window range. The addition is one storey with an attic and consists of one bay.
The front of the farmhouse is regular, featuring a half-glazed four-panelled door to the left of the centre. The ground floor has mid to late 19th-century wood mullioned and transomed three-light windows, while the first floor is fitted with three-light casements, all of which have horizontal glazing bars. The ground and first-floor openings are topped with brick segmental arches. The second floor has two-light casements, mostly with glazing bars. The addition includes a late 20th-century three-light casement window on the ground floor.
The farmhouse is the last remaining structure of the Warwick County Asylum for Juvenile Delinquents, which was established in 1818 and closed between 1868 and 1871.
