Description
Houghton Down Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse constructed of rendered brick with a slate roof. The building is two storeys high, featuring four wide bays and two bays deep, with a service range at the rear on each end. In the right of the centre bay, there is a six-panel door flanked by a light on either side, all under an open 19th-century gabled timber porch. The farmhouse has seven 16-pane sash windows. The roof is hipped, with stacks located on each hip, at the right end, and on the front of the roof between the left bays.
