Description
Sandfords is a house dating from around 1700. It has a timber frame that is weatherboarded and features a steeply pitched roof, which is now covered with slate. The house has projecting front eaves with a plastered soffit. It is two stories high and has a three-cell layout with a central chimney and a lobby entry, facing east. At the back, there is a continuous two-story shallow extension with a catslide roof, and a lean-to at the southern end. The northern end of the front has a single-story projection with a hipped roof, along with a gabled porch. The front has three windows, which include two-and three-light flush casement windows.
