Description
Filkins Down Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1810. It is constructed from coursed rubble limestone, featuring dressed quoins and window jambs. The roof is covered with 20th-century concrete tiles and has flanking ashlar chimneys. The building has a double depth plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and consists of two bays. The windows are renewed four-pane sashes with flat arches made of dressed stone. There are two gabled eaves-line dormers that contain paired barred wooden casements. In the center, there is a six-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above it, which is topped by a stone hood in the shape of an open pediment supported by shaped brackets. This farmhouse was built as an estate farmhouse for William Hervey of Bradwell Grove, after 1802.
