Description

Rosevidney Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, significantly remodelled in the 18th century. The front is rendered with painted incised stucco, while the rest of the building is faced with painted rubble, with the left-hand gable end rebuilt in concrete during the 20th century. The roofs are covered in scantle slates, with gable ends, except for an asbestos slate roof at the rear left. There is a rubble chimney stack over the right-hand gable and a brick stack over the gable of the rear wing.

The farmhouse has a roughly L-shaped plan, incorporating three rooms with a stair turret in the angle and a single-storey stable addition dating from the 19th century attached to the rear wing. The front rooms were likely a parlour to the left and the original kitchen to the right, featuring a large fireplace which is mostly blocked. A cross passage connects the rooms, leading to the stair turret and a single-room kitchen wing at right angles behind the right-hand room. The front wall was probably rebuilt or remodelled in the 18th or early 19th century.

The two-storey south front has a near-symmetrical façade with three windows and a centrally placed doorway. The ground floor openings have chamfered lintels, and there's a possibility of a complete outer frame of a 3-light mullioned window on the right. The front door is a 6-panel design from the early 19th century, with dog-tooth detailing on the lock rail. Circa early 19th-century 16-pane sash windows occupy the left-hand openings, with later 19th or 20th-century horned sashes elsewhere. The rear of the building includes a late 18th-century stair window with vertical wooden glazing bars and leaded panes of crown glass.

Inside, the farmhouse retains 18th-century carpentry and joinery, including bowtell-moulded beams, 2-panel doors, softwood muntin and plank partitions, and a dog-leg staircase.
