Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 17th century, with a front range dated 1718 on the stack. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with squared quoins and features a hipped stone slate roof, along with brick lateral stacks at the rear. The building has a central staircase plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a symmetrical five-window range. All openings have wedged stone lintels, and the entrance features an eight-panelled door with an overlight. The windows are late 19th or early 20th century eight-pane sashes. The roof dormers have moulded cornices, hipped roofs, and two-light leaded casements on the sides, while the rear includes a two-light ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned dormer window.
To the rear right, there is a late 17th-century two-storey range made of uncoursed limestone rubble, topped with a gabled old tile and stone slate roof, and featuring a stone external stack. This range has late 17th-century wood-mullioned cross-windows with iron fittings. The block to the rear left is built of similar materials but has been remodelled with an 18th-century timber-framed rear wall with brick infill. This section is also two storeys high and has a three-window range, with 19th-century casements and cross-windows, as well as two-light leaded casements at the rear.
Inside, the farmhouse features 18th-century panelled doors. The panelled room to the right includes a bolection-moulded fireplace and overmantle, along with a china closet. The open-well staircase has turned balusters on a closed string, and the front and rear left ranges have collar-truss roofs. A chamfered beam can be found in the late 17th-century rear right block.
