Pardoe'S Farmhouse

Pardoe's Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1620, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The building features a timber frame with painted brick and rendered wattle-and-daub infill, brick replacement walling, and a sandstone rubble base. It has a plain tiled roof, with a brick stack at the left end of the main ridge and an external brick chimney with offsets on the right side elevation. The layout consists of a hall and cross-wing plan, each with two framed bays, and the structure is two storeys tall with a cellar.

The framing includes four panels from the sill to the wall-plate in the hall section and mainly three panels on the cross-wing side elevation, with four panels at the gable ends. Long swept braces are present in the lower corners of the hall, while short straight braces are found in the upper corners of the cross-wing. The gable ends feature collar-and-tie-beam trusses with queen struts, and the truss at the left gable end has a king post with angle struts above the collar.

On the front elevation, there are two bays to one, with the main part displaying a ground floor three-light casement and a first floor with a three-light and a two-light casement. The cross-wing gable end has three-light casements on both floors, and the main entrance is located at the rear in the angle of the cross-wing.

Inside, the roof has a single row of trenched purlins and intermediate collar-and-tie-beam trusses with queen struts. The ground floor of the main part and the rear cross-wing feature cross-beamed ceilings, and there is a large sandstone chimney in the left bay of the main part. Additionally, there is a single-storey 19th-century kitchen wing that adjoins the left gable end.
