Description
Three Acres Farmhouse, also known as Goat Farmhouse, is a farmhouse that dates from the 18th century or earlier. It is constructed of cob with a thatched roof, which is now covered by corrugated iron, and features gable brick chimneys. The building has a two-room plan that has been altered to three rooms. It is two storeys high and has three windows.
On the ground floor, there is a 12-paned casement window, a 6-paned iron single casement window in a 20th-century opening, and a former door that has been converted into a 12-paned casement window. To the right, there is a door that was originally a window, and a 20th-century porch obscures the ground floor on this side. The first floor includes a 16-paned casement window with lift-off hinges to the left, a 12-paned casement window above the original doorway, and a very small 4-paned window at a slightly lower level, all featuring timber lintels. The eaves are lightly raised, and there is an external cob chimney breast on the lower left side. The back of the farmhouse displays good cob texture, and the upper end of the building is partly built into a hill.
Inside, the farmhouse has a partly blocked hearth to the left and a completely blocked hearth to the right. There is a thick partition wall to the left of the present door, and the wall at the top of the stairs has a curved inner face.
