College Farmhouse

College Farmhouse is an early 16th-century hall house, with alterations made in the early 17th century and a significant remodelling of the south facade in the mid 18th century. The house is timber-framed and brick, with a slate roof. The south facade is two storeys high, featuring a central doorway with a fanlight. There are two 20th-century sash windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, with a blocked window above the door. The roof is gabled, with an internal east gable stack. The west gable wall is brick, dominated by a massive stepped 16th-century external stack which was later updated with 19th-century gault brick flues, and includes openings for brick ovens at ground floor level. Gable returns to the north contain a 2-light hollow mullioned timber window with round heads on the ground floor, framed by a moulded timber lintel. An early 19th-century extension, with a catslide roof, is set to the left of the elevation, incorporating a first-floor jetty that runs the length of the house. The jetty is exposed between the extension and the brickwork of the west gable, displaying irregularly spaced studs on a bressumer with brick infilling.

Internally, original screens passage doorways have been blocked, and an 18th-century staircase has been inserted. The timber frame is of heavy scantling, with arch and tension bracing. The original north door remains, although it now leads to an inserted cellar. A 4-centred doorway with punched spandrels and wave and hollow moulded jambs is located in the principal south doorway, which is now used as a bathroom entrance on the first floor. A lower west room contains a York stone fireplace with double roll mouldings. A blocked 4-centred doorway, with wave and hollow moulded decoration, is visible on the east wall, leading into the screens passage. The spine beam features wave and hollow mouldings. An upper room has wave and hollow moulded tie beams on boxed arched braces. The roof structure retains tie beams on arched braces but the remainder of the roof is 20th-century.
