Armscote Farmhouse

Armscote Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, possibly built in two phases. It features squared, coursed limestone with ashlar quoins and coped gables, topped by a stone slate roof with ashlar ridge and end stacks that have plinths and moulded cornices. The building is two storeys plus an attic and has an L-shaped plan, with a gabled wing facing the road on the right.

On the ground and first floors of the gable, there is a 4-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window with a king mullion, and a 3-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window in the attic. The centre of the building has a 20th-century two-light mullioned window replacing the original doorway, though the quoins remain. To the left, there is a renewed 4-light mullioned window. On the first floor, there is a 3-light mullioned window to the left and a 2-light mullioned window in the centre, all featuring straight chamfers. All windows have hood moulds and label stops, and there is a small skylight in the roof.

The gable facing the road also has a small stone sundial. The right side of the gabled wing includes additional 4-light ovolo-moulded mullioned windows with king mullions, as well as 3-light wood casements with wood lintels. Some windows retain panes of original glass in leaded lights, along with some 20th-century wood casements and a 20th-century one-storey stone extension to the rear. There is a 19th-century outbuilding that has been converted in the 20th century and is now part of the house.

Inside, the gabled wing features a large, heavily moulded spine beam and a large open fireplace with run-out stops. The spine beam has ogee stops, and there are 17th-century doors, some of which have been reset. The first floor has plank and muntin partitions with moulded muntins, as well as further chamfered spine beams with ogee stops. All remaining joists throughout the house are chamfered with ogee stops. The original roof includes one queen post truss with collar and struts, and some stone flagged floors are present on the ground floor.
