Description
Foley Farmhouse, also known as Folly Farmhouse, is a late 18th-century farmhouse located on Leeds Lower Street. The building is rendered and features a plain tile roof. It has two storeys set on a plinth, with a modillioned wooden eaves cornice. The roof is hipped, with the hips returning along the side elevation. There are rear stacks on both the right and left sides. The windows are regularly arranged, consisting of two glazing bar lights, and there are canted bay windows on the ground floor. The central entrance door has six fielded panels, flanked by Doric pilasters and topped with a flat corniced hood, and is accessed by three steps. There is also a door at the center of the rear elevation, which has a broad flat corniced hood. Inside, there is a late 18th-century staircase and other contemporary features, although the interior has only been partly inspected.
