Description

Fentengo Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century. It is built of rendered cob and features a roof with a hipped end on the left and a gable end on the right, covered with rag Delabole slate on the front slope and asbestos slate on the rear slope. There is a scantle slate catslide roof over an integral rear outshut. The farmhouse has a projecting stone rubble stack with a brick shaft on the left hipped end and another stone rubble stack on the right gable end. The layout consists of two rooms with a through passage and two small service rooms in the rear outshut, which may be integral. The building is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. The ground floor has a 20th-century window on the left and a 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash window on the right, along with a 20th-century door in a 20th-century lean-to glazed porch to the left of centre. The first floor features early 19th-century 16-pane sashes. Inside, there is a 20th-century stair in the wide through passage, but the rest of the interior has not been seen.
