Description
Kirkins Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1800. It is built of red and blue chequered brick and has a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and a basement, set on a plinth, with a brick dentil eaves cornice beneath a hipped roof that features stacks on both the right and left sides. The front has a regular arrangement of windows, including two tripartite sash windows and a central wooden casement on the first floor, as well as two double-height tripartite sashes on the ground floor, all of which have gauged heads. There is a central gabled porch that includes a semi-circular fanlight, sidelights, and glazed doors both outside and inside. A basement opening is located on the left return of the building. The rear wall is timber framed. At the time of the survey, the farmhouse was uninhabited and in disrepair.
