Paganshill Farmhouse

Paganshill Farmhouse is a farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th century. The rear wing remains from this period, while the front block was built around 1820 and has undergone later alterations and additions. The building features a combination of rubble, rendered surfaces, and brick, topped with a concrete tiled hipped roof on the front block, and double Roman tiled roofs on the rear.

The farmhouse is arranged in a U-shape, formed by the rear wing and a former attached cow-house, which is now used as living accommodation. It is two stories tall and has three windows, all of which are 16-pane sashes with keystones and stepped voussoirs. The central entrance features a Doric porch with a panelled frieze and cornice, leading to a glazed 20th-century door. There is a plinth and a string course at the cills of the first-floor windows, and the eaves are bracketted.

To the left, there is a curtain wall of single-storey height with a pointed arched door, while a single-storey addition from the late 19th century is on the right, featuring a smaller 16-pane sash window, a parapet wall, and coping. The right side of the building has a single-storey lean-to with a pointed arched Y-tracery panelled door, and the gable end of the earlier farmhouse has a brick gable stack. The rear of the side wing includes a 20th-century three-light window with glazing bars.

On the left side, there is a single-storey attached house that was formerly the cow-house, which has been remodelled in the 20th century. The rear of the earlier farmhouse features a three-light 17th-century casement window with a timber lintel, iron stanchions, and wooden shutters. There is also a timber lintel remaining to the left, a four-pane sash window above it, and paired sashes with horns on the ground floor, along with a small 16-pane sash in the gable on the first floor. The rear of the main house has been built up over a former yard, with a door and a small 16-pane sash window, and the first floor is made of brick with three windows, each with six panes.

Attached to the right is a former dairy, which is two stories tall with a hipped roof, featuring an eight-pane light on the inner side at ground level and a four-pane light with a segmental head at the rear, along with a 20th-century porch in the angle with the former cow-house. Inside, the rear wing has a moulded doorframe, a fireplace with a cambered lintel and stone jambs, and carved wooden panelling dated 1646 and 1657, which may have been removed from the Church of St. Andrew during its 19th-century restoration.
