Fairseat Farmhouse

Fairseat Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It was built in the mid-18th century and was refronted and enlarged around 1860, with some later alterations and additions. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features slate roofs with deep bracketed eaves at the front, along with some areas covered in double Roman tiles.

The farmhouse has two storeys and three windows, all of which are 6-pane sashes with a wider central pane. The central entrance features a panelled and glazed door, and there is a porch supported by two reeded columns on high plinths. The porch has a frieze with a leaf design in the center and a cornice. There are straight joints on both the right and left sides, and a string course runs above the ground floor windows. To the right, there is a later 19th-century lean-to with a pointed arched door. A plaque on the building notes that Wesley preached at the house on September 10, 1790.

On the left side of the building, there is a single light window at attic level, a straight joint towards the rear, and a line indicating a roof raising. The ground and first floors on the left have a 16-pane sash window, which is smaller on the first floor. The right side has a small attic light on the left and a 2-light casement window on the first floor to the right, along with a single-storey lean-to that has a 20th-century door and window.

At the rear, there is a 20th-century plate glass window on the ground floor left, with a 16-pane sash window above it. The mid-18th-century sash windows are located in the center on both the ground and first floors, while another 16-pane sash window is found on the ground and first floors to the right. All windows have stone surrounds and keystones, and there is a cellar door to the right with strap hinges.

In August 1790, Fairseat Farmhouse was registered as a house set apart for the worship of God and religious exercise for Protestant Dissenters. At that time, it belonged to Anna Maria Griffon, and a copy of the document is available in the house.
