Description
Watermill Farmhouse is a farmhouse consisting of two ranges, with the right side dating from the early 17th century and the left side likely from the late 17th to early 18th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, featuring an original red brick gable end on the right side and some brick casing at the rear. The right side has pantiles, while the left side is covered with slates. The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic. The right range includes casement windows, one gabled dormer, and a gable end stack. The left range has a four-window arrangement with sashes that have glazing bars in flush frames. It also features a doorway with a six-panel door and an open timber porch supported by square columns, with latticework on the sides. This doorway is set within a closed lean-to porch. Additionally, there is one flat-roofed dormer and an internal stack on the left range. At the junction of the two main ranges, there is a further lean-to extension that is set forward.
