Description
Cottenham Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1820, likely designed by Thomas Rickman. It features marlstone ashlar construction, artificial stone-slate roofs, and marlstone-ashlar stacks with moulded caps. The building has a double-depth plan with secondary wings and is designed in a 17th-century style. It stands two storeys tall, with a symmetrical three-window front on the main range. This front includes three-light stone-mullioned windows with labels, flanking a projecting gabled central bay that contains a Tudor-arched entrance beneath a single-light window. The end walls also have additional mullioned windows, and the structure is supported by stepped diagonal angle buttresses and has moulded gable parapets. To the left, there is a long parallel range, now all two storeys, which features more mullioned windows. The rear of the farmhouse has two wings and various gables. The interior has not been inspected.
