Description

College Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1820 to 1850. It is constructed from coursed and dressed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a gabled Welsh slate roof. The building has symmetrical end stacks that were rebuilt in 20th-century brick and is designed in a Tudor-Revival style. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window range. There is a stone lintel above a six-panelled door with an overlight, and an early 19th-century trellised porch on a stone plinth. The windows are two-light, chamfered stone-mullioned with casements and have label moulds above them. At the rear, there is a wing built with similar materials and style, which is also two storeys and has a two-window range that includes a label mould over a plank door with an overlight and a stone ashlar end stack. The interior has not been inspected. The farmhouse is complemented by subsidiary features, including a forecourt wall made of coursed dressed limestone that encloses an area approximately 10 meters by 16 meters. The front gateway has ashlar piers topped with ball finials, flanked by plain iron railings.
