Tatnam Farmhouse And Attached Outbuilding

This is an early 19th-century former farmhouse, altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick, with some areas whitewashed, and has a slate roof and brick end stacks. The design is based on a double-depth plan. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a three-window front. The central entrance has a six-panel door with glazed upper panels, set within a reeded wood surround featuring a sunk quatrefoil ornament at the top angle blocks. A flat-roofed porch with slender Tuscan columns to the front and pilasters to the back, and a moulded entablature, extends in front of the door. The ground floor windows are six-pane sashes, while the first floor windows are three-pane sashes, all fitted with louvred external shutters. Cogged brick detailing is visible at the eaves. The left side of the building has a single-light casement window to the ground floor, a two-light 20th century casement to the first floor and a four-pane window in the attic. A single-storey outshut is attached to the rear left, and a verandah extends from the rear right.

To the right of the farmhouse is a single-storey former outbuilding range, built of red brick in a Flemish garden wall bond and with a slate roof and stepped brick eaves. One bay of the outbuilding is rendered and has a two-light casement window. A further nine-pane sash window, of 20th-century date, is located to the right and has a cemented lintel.

Inside, the front door opens into a staircase hall. The staircase rises in a straight flight, with stick balusters, turned mahogany newel posts, and a mahogany handrail. An internal six-pane window illuminates the enclosed landing, and the ceiling features a plasterwood cornice with rosettes. A double-height sitting room is situated beyond a wall. This room retains its original fireplace surround and a 19th-century cast-iron grate, a moulded plaster cornice, and low double-leaf doors beneath a sash window overlooking the garden.
