Description
Almshouse Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It features a brick plinth and is constructed of grey brick with red brick dressings, topped by an old plain-tile hipped roof with a brick ridge stack on the left side. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a four-window arrangement that is set at right angles to the street.
To the right of the center, there is a six-panel part-glazed door with a flat hood supported by brackets. The ground and first floors on the right side have segmental-headed wooden cross-windows, which are adorned with segmental brick heads. On the left side of the ground floor, there is a segmental-headed 12-pane unhorned sash window, also with a segmental brick head. The rest of the windows follow a regular pattern with segmental-headed blind panels. A flat brick band runs between the ground and first floors, and there is a shaped brick cornice at the eaves.
In the center of the roof, there is a 20th-century gabled full dormer that contains a two-light casement. The left side of the building, which faces the street, also has a two-storey, four-window range. It features segmental-headed 12-pane unhorned sashes with segmental brick heads on the ground floor, positioned to the left and right of the center. There is a flat brick band between the ground and first floors, with segmental heads above the first-floor windows on either side of the center. The remaining windows have segmental-headed blind panels.
On the right side of the building, there is a basket arch-headed wooden cross-window with leaded lights situated between the ground and first floors on the right. A basket-arched blind panel is located to the left. The interior of the farmhouse has not been inspected.
