Grove Farmhouse

Grove Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, which was rebuilt and extended in 1867, with few later alterations. The building is constructed of rubble, with the front in stucco and the rear rendered. It has a slate roof featuring ridge tiles and gable ends, along with gable end stacks that have rendered shafts. Part of the rear slope of the roof is covered with asbestos slate.

The layout includes one room remaining at the rear right of the original building, which is heated by a gable end stack on the right. In the 19th century, the left end of the house was rebuilt, and a parallel range was added to the front. This created principal rooms on the front right and left, with a central entrance leading to a stair hall. The rear rooms were used as service areas.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay front. The central bay is slightly advanced and features a gable over the porch, which has bargeboards. The ground floor porch is half-glazed with margin-glazing and half-glazed double doors, topped with a swept lead roof. There is a single light window on each side of the porch, and the first floor has three 12-pane sash windows. The right side of the building is blind and features a band course.

The rear range on the right side includes a two-light casement on the ground floor and a stepped external stack. The left side has a four-pane sash window on the first floor in the rear range, and four-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors in the front range. At the rear, there is a 19th-century parallel range on the right, which has a three-light casement on the ground floor and two four-pane sashes on the first floor. A porch with a 20th-century door is set at the angle to the early range on the left, with the upper wall slate-hung. To the left, there is a three-light casement on the ground floor and a two-light 20th-century casement on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
