Smugley Farmhouse

Smugley Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with extensions added in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is constructed of timber framing with exposed close-studding and plaster infill on a sandstone base. The return elevations have weatherboarding, while the rear wing is of red brick and tile hanging. The roof is plain tiled, with gablets and a hipped dormer.

The farmhouse is a continuous jettied range of four framed bays with rear additions. It has two storeys and an attic, with a sandstone basement to the left. The jetty is moulded and supported by brackets, returning to the left on a moulded dragon post. The principal frame posts are enriched with carved colonettes, though most are badly worn, and there is a brick pier at the right end. The roof is hipped with gablets. A stack is situated at the end to the right, and a large projecting stack of English Bond brick with sandstone quoins and clustered moulded flues sits on a sandstone base, projecting at the rear left. Four leaded wooden casements of two and three lights are on the first floor, two of these having mullions and transoms. There are three four and five-light leaded casements on the ground floor. A boarded door is positioned to the centre right, within a four-centred arched doorway featuring what appear to be pomegranate and rose spandrel carvings. Basement openings form the left return. A 16th-century wing extends to the rear left, featuring two storeys, a half-hipped roof, casement windows, and a half-glazed door. A catslide outshot is attached to the main range.

The interior includes heavily moulded ceiling beams to the parlour on the end to the left, with a dragon beam. Large inglenook fireplaces are present, along with a bread oven and curing cupboard. A mullioned window with shutter grooves is visible on the left return. The upper fireplaces feature simple chamfered four-centred chimney bressummers. The main roof has large, square section crown posts, unmoulded but for chamfered arisses, braced to a collar purlin and tie beam.
