Description
Old Farmhouse, shown on the Ordnance Survey map as Fifield House Farmhouse, is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 18th century and has undergone later additions and alterations. The front is made of limestone ashlar, while the rear features regularly coursed and dressed rubble. The roof is covered with stone slates and has coped verges.
The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window front. The first floor has two-light chamfered mullion windows, and the ground floor features three-light mullion windows, all with leaded lights. There is a central half-glazed door with a plain surround. The roof slope includes two early 20th-century gabled dormers. The building has integral end stacks with moulded dripstones and capping. On the left gable end, there are two-light chamfered mullion windows on the first floor, and a low gabled range at the rear has a leaded eaves dormer attached to the right.
The interior was partially inspected during a resurvey in August 1987, revealing a chamfered cross beam and exposed joists in the right room.
