Description

Ford Farmhouse is an 18th-century house constructed of red brick, featuring a red tiled gambrel roof. It is said to have three dormer windows at the rear and has external red brick chimney stacks on both the right and left sides. The building includes parapet verges, rusticated quoins, and a central band. It has two storeys and attics, with a five-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes that have segmental heads. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door with a fanlight above and an open pediment. To the left, there is a single-storey extension with a grey slate roof and two two-light windows.
