Badharlick Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built around the early to mid 17th century, with extensions added around the mid 19th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble with a regular slate roof, gable ends, and brick chimney shafts.

The original layout is uncertain, but the earliest range likely consisted of two rooms and a through passage, heated by end stacks. Around the mid 19th century, the rear wall was partly demolished, and a service range containing a kitchen, dairy, and scullery was added across the rear, creating a double-depth plan. A staircase was inserted on the right-hand side of the passage, the left-hand side wall was partially rebuilt, and the eaves were raised. In the late 19th century, an outshut was added to the left-hand gable end.

The front of the building presents an almost symmetrical three-window facade. The central doorway features a 4-centred, chamfered granite arch with pyramid stops. The door is a double-constructed 17th century door, with vertical planks on the exterior and horizontal planks on the interior. A 19th-century tripartite sash window is set to the left, featuring a dressed stone flat arch, while to the right is a 17th century three-light mullion window with a hoodmould and casements, from which the glazing bars have been removed. The first floor has a mid 19th century tripartite sash window to the left, a central 17th century three-light mullion window, and a further 17th century three-light mullion window to the right. The right-hand side wall includes a 17th century two-light mullion window towards the front and a reset 17th century two-light mullion window towards the rear. The rear elevation features 19th-century sash windows with dressed stone flat arches over the ground-floor openings.

Inside, a wide passage remains, and the draw bar to the 17th-century door is still in place. Much of the interior was altered in the 19th century when the staircases and most doors were replaced. Two 18th-century two-panel doors survive. The ground-floor rooms include 20th-century grates in the fireplaces, with 19th-century china cupboards flanking the fireplace in the front left-hand room. The ceilings are plastered. Some earlier 17th-century features may remain, but are likely covered over.
