Description
Meadow Farmhouse is a 17th century house that was remodeled and extended in the late 18th or 19th century. The exterior is finished in colourwashed roughcast, and it features a hipped old clay tile roof with three parallel ridges at the rear. The building has a block plan that is four bays long and three bays deep, with two storeys.
The facade includes five first floor sash windows, four of which have glazing bars; the second window from the left is a later addition. On the ground floor, there are three sash windows with glazing bars. To the right of the center, there is a six-panel door set in reveals, surrounded by an architrave and topped with a flat door hood. The southwest elevation has three sash windows with glazing bars on each floor, while the other elevations feature 20th century casement windows.
