Description
Old Tunmore Farmhouse is a hall house dating from the early 16th century, which has been partially demolished and extended in the 18th century, with further extensions added to the rear in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame, with part of the frame exposed at the rear right and red brick infill. The front is clad in red brick, while the right side has brown brick, and the rear includes 20th-century brick and tile hung extensions. The roofs are plain tiled, hipped with a gablet on the left and a hipped roof end-on to the right.
The farmhouse is two storeys tall, with single-storey extensions on the right-hand return front and a central front stack, along with additional stacks at the right end and to the rear. The entrance front has irregular fenestration, primarily consisting of casements. The first floor features three 3-light windows, with the one on the right stepped up, and one 2-light window on the left. On the ground floor, there is a 2-light casement on the left, a 3-light casement to the left of center under a cambered head, and a large canted bay window on the right. A 20th-century brick porch is located to the right of center. The right-hand return front has 20th-century casement windows, including a canted ground floor oriel and two pairs of casement doors. The rear displays mixed casement fenestration, with a flat-roofed through eaves dormer at the junction with the rear extensions.
Inside, two framed bays remain, featuring chamfered joists on the ground floor. There is a wood lintel above a deep brick fireplace. The first floor has jowled posts with arch braces at the left end, and wide oak floorboards are present. The roof includes substantial sooted rafters and a wattle and daub partition, with a crown post truss that has arched braces, one of which exhibits a small patch of red ochre coloring.
