Description
Pin Farm is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century, with a service extension added in the 18th century, and the front was remodeled and extended to the right in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of colourwashed limestone rubble with dressed quoins, and there is more dressed stonework in the right bay. It features a gabled stone slate roof, with rendered ridge and left end stacks finished in 19th-century brick. The layout is a three-unit plan that has been extended to a U-plan.
The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range. There is a 17th-century stair-light with a wood ovolo-moulded surround above a 19th-century six-panelled door (two of the panels are glazed) that is topped by a 20th-century trellised porch. Timber lintels are present over early 19th-century ten-pane sash windows flanking the door, as well as a sash window in the right bay. A dormer was inserted in the 1970s to the left.
At the rear left, there is an 18th-century service wing built of similar materials, featuring a roughcast end external stack with two diagonal brick flues. There is a similar one-storey and attic service wing to the rear right. A 20th-century outshut has been added to the rear.
Inside, the room to the left has stop-chamfered and quartered beams, along with a stone open fireplace that has sunk spandrels beneath a hollow-chamfered arch. The room to the right contains a stone moulded fireplace and stop-chamfered beams that were originally part of the right wing, which projected forward from the right bay before the early 19th century. The first floor features ogee-stopped chamfered beams. The rear left service range has stop-chamfered beams and quarter-turn stairs.
