Description

Oaklands Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, featuring a roof covered with slates and handmade red clay Roman tiles. The building consists of three bays aligned approximately northeast to southwest, with an axial chimney stack located in the middle bay, which creates a lobby-entrance. There is a stair tower at the rear of the stack, also roofed with Roman tiles.

At the eastern end, there is a two-storey rear wing, roofed with Roman tiles, and a single-storey extension beyond it, which has a slate roof. Additionally, there is a two-storey lean-to extension behind the middle bay and a single-storey lean-to extension in the western angle. The farmhouse has two storeys with attics, with the front pitch of the roof clad in slates and the rear pitch in Roman tiles.

The front features half-glazed double doors leading into a flat-roofed porch, which dates from the 19th or 20th century, along with two tripartite double-hung sash windows with 2-4-2 lights from the late 19th century. On the first floor, there are two similar windows and one late 19th-century casement window. The building has a wooden parapet and is slightly asymmetrical.

Inside, the axial beams above the ground floor and first-floor rooms are plain-chamfered with lamb's tongue stops. In the northeast gable at attic level, there is one original 17th-century window, which consists of one fixed light and one wrought iron casement in a hardwood frame, both featuring leaded rectangular panes, some of which contain early glass. The newel stair is mainly original.
