Southnett Farmhouse

Southnett Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of brick with some sandstone rubble and has plain tiled roofs. The layout features a hall and cross-wing plan, with a single-bay hall oriented east to west and a large external chimney at the west gable end, which is enclosed by a single-storey and attic addition. There is a full-height porch wing at the junction on the south side, creating a lobby entrance. The cross-wing at the east gable end has two bays and a large internal chimney on the east side, which features three star-shaped stacks and a joint cap.

The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-course band and a central cogged course between the main storeys, as well as at the eaves level of the cross-wing. On the south front elevation, the hall section includes two ground floor 2-light casements, a first floor 2-light casement, and a blind window. The west end addition has a 3-light ground floor casement. The two-storey porch wing features a first floor 3-light casement with a cambered head, blind windows on each side elevation, and a round archway with imposts below, along with hexagonal lights in each side elevation and a 17th-century studded door. The cross-wing gable end has a ground floor 2-light casement, a first floor 3-light casement with a cambered head, and a blind attic light.

Inside, the farmhouse is noted for its moulded ceiling beams and large back-to-back fireplaces. There is also a dog-spit located in an alcove next to the kitchen fireplace. Historically, the farmstead is recorded as having originally belonged to the Blount family.
