Harcourt Old Farmhouse And Garden Wall With Gate-Piers To North

Harcourt Old Farmhouse and the garden wall with gate-piers to the north date from around the late 18th century and were extended in the 20th century. The farmhouse is built from slatestone rubble with a slate-hung front over a rubble base, featuring hipped plain tile roofs and brick chimneys on the side walls. It originally had a two-room central stair plan with rear service rooms within a continuous integral outshut. There is a large rear lean-to porch and a 20th-century extension to the northwest, along with an earlier outshut to the rear. The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front on the southwest, with a 20th-century two-window addition to the left. The original part on the right has a central doorway and wider ground floor windows, featuring a 20th-century door and hornless sash windows with glazing bars and concealed boxes. The 20th-century addition is slate-hung and also has hornless sashes with glazing bars. Inside, the farmhouse has floors and roof structure from around the 1970s but retains original chimney breasts. The rubble garden wall at the rear encloses a courtyard and has two pairs of gate-piers. The eastern gate-piers are made of rubble and topped with granite copings and ball finials.
