Description
Harris Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with squared quoins and some brick dressings, topped with slate and old plain-tile roofs featuring brick gable stacks. The building has a double-depth plan with a gable outshut. The symmetrical front has three windows and includes a rendered eaves cove and a storey band. The central four-panel door is topped with an overlight and a flat hood supported by stone brackets. The ground floor windows have rendered lintels, while the first-floor windows feature timber lintels, all set within irregular brick quoins. The front slope and the roof of the outshut to the right are covered with slate, while the remaining slopes of the double-span roof are in plain tiles. Inside, there is a central staircase with a Chinese trellis balustrade. The front of the house is enclosed by iron railings that run between ashlar piers with pyramidal caps, with brick wall returns on the left. A certificate related to a Sun Insurance plaque on the front wall is dated 1768.
