Harp Farmhouse

Harp Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with later 18th or early 19th century cladding and an attic storey, as well as a 20th century cross-wing. The building is timber framed, with the south elevation featuring red brick in English bond on the ground floor and tile-hung above, topped with a plain tile roof. The house is divided into two sections, with the left section being approximately twice as long as the right, although both are likely part of one range below the eaves level. It has two storeys on a brick plinth, with the left section containing a cellar and an added mansard roof that includes attics, which is half-hipped at the left end and gabled at the right. The right section has a lower roof that connects to the cross-wing at the right end. There is a multiple red brick stack on the front slope of the roof, located immediately below the ridge at the right end of the mansard roof, and a slightly projecting buff brick stack at the left end. The mansard roof includes two plain dormers. The first floor features irregular fenestration with four 19th century sash windows: one towards the left end, one to the right of the centre of the mansarded section, and two close together that fill most of the right section. There is a blocked door in the centre of the right section. A 20th century brick porch at the end of the right section has a pitched plain-tile roof and a tile-hung gable, with a panelled door that includes a glazed top light. At the left end, there is a 19th century addition made of gault brick with a slate roof, which is one storey high and has a stack at the left end. The 20th century cross-wing at the right end has a ground floor made of reused bricks, a tile-hung first floor, and a hipped plain tile roof. The rear of the house features various 19th century additions.
