Description
Templars Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse featuring a hipped slate roof and brick walls composed of grey headers and red stretchers, with a grey band at the first-floor level. The building has wide overhanging eaves and a simple rectangular plan, standing two storeys tall. It includes three vertical sliding sash windows with glazing bars set in reveals, complemented by painted stone cills and flat arches. A central gabled porch, which is half glazed and built on a brick base, adds to the farmhouse's character.
