Description
Grove Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century. It is timber-framed, with part of the ground floor bricked, and features painted brick and lath and plaster infill, along with dressed red sandstone bases for the external stacks. The roof is tiled. The building has an L-shape and includes two large stacks; one is located at the rear of the main range and the other on the west side of the rear wing. The main range consists of four bays and has a small gabled projection to the right of the center, with the entrance situated to the left of this projection. The rear range extends by one bay.
The main elevation has two storeys and an attic, featuring one dormer window and one skylight to the left of the forward projecting gable, which also has four 20th-century metal framed windows—two on the first floor and two on the ground floor. Additionally, there is a 19th-century tripartite wooden window with a central Tudor arch and ogee-headed side lights on the ground floor of the forward projecting gable. A plank door is located to the left of center, accessed through a porch with a lean-to roof supported by wooden posts. The ground floor is painted and partially bricked.
The east gable has a painted brick ground floor, three windows including a small leaded casement in the attic, a 20th-century four-light window on the first floor, and a three-light window on the ground floor. The rear gable features similar window arrangements. The chimneys consist of two large external stacks with heavy sandstone bases reaching eaves level, and brick shafts that have been partly rebuilt. There are traces of former conjoined star-shaped shafts on the stack at the rear of the main range.
In terms of framing, the main elevation displays small paneling with three panels on each floor to the left of the entrance, while the remainder has two panels on each floor. The east gable end features three panels to the eaves from the mid-rail and a V-strut. The rear gable is complete with three panels on each floor, and diagonal braces extend from the sill to the posts across two panels.
