Description
Coldharbour Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, which was remodeled and extended around 1800. It is built of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins, some brick dressings, and rendering, topped with a Welsh-slate roof and rendered stacks. The building features a three-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys plus attics high. The front has four windows and an entrance to the right of centre, which includes double-leaf panelled doors beneath an ogee canopy. The windows are 16-pane sashes, larger on the ground floor, all framed with brick quoins and segmental brick arches with keyblocks. The roof has boxed eaves and a large stack aligned with the entrance. The right gable wall is rendered, while the left gable wall shows remnants of an original ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned window. A double-gabled rear extension and a lower kitchen range to the left likely date from around 1800. The rear wall of the main range has traces of stair windows behind the stack and blocked stone-mullioned cellar windows beneath a moulded-brick plinth weathering. Inside, there is a massive internal stack with early 19th-century fireplaces, and one exposed chamfered beam rests on a carved corbel. A roof beam is said to have "1625" carved into it. An attached limestone wall surrounds two sides of the garden and features an arched doorway with large voussoirs, projecting imposts, and a Gothic doorway with blind tracery and quatrefoils.
