Description

Idbury House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that is believed to have origins in the 16th century, with later remodelling. It is constructed from a mix of regularly coursed, uncoursed, and roughly coursed limestone rubble, featuring regularly coursed stonework at the eaves of the main range. The roof is made of stone slates with coped verges on the gable end of the rear range, while the front of the main range has been replaced with concrete tiles. The building has a T-plan layout and is likely originally a three-unit baffle-entry type. It stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic.

The main range, which faces the road, features 19th-century casement windows with chamfered wood lintels on the first floor, and three-light leaded casements with wood lintels on the ground floor, flanking a late 19th-century canted bay window. There is an infilled opening with a slightly cambered stone lintel to the far left. Above the bay window, there is a ridge stack with dripstones and moulded capping. The left gable end has a 20th-century boarded door beneath a contemporary bracketed flat stone hood, flanked by narrow chamfered rectangular windows. There is a two-light chamfered mullion window in the centre of the first floor and a small leaded casement window off-centre in the attic. The right gable end features a two-light chamfered mullion window on the first floor.

On the rear range, which faces the farmyard, there are 19th-century casements with wood lintels, including a centre ground floor window in the position of an infilled doorway, and an upper right window with leaded lights. There is a ridge stack with moulded dripstone and capping to the right, and a 19th-century lean-to attached to the left gable end. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey in August 1987, but it is said to contain wall paintings (which are covered up) and ceiling beams.
