Description
Meadow Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 18th century with later additions and alterations. It is constructed from roughly coursed slate-stone rubble and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features a three-window front. The windows are 20th-century casements designed in a 19th-century style, positioned directly below the eaves on the first floor, and there is a half-glazed door in the centre, flanked by wood lintels, under a flat-roofed brick porch. To the right, there is a stepped integral end stack, and to the left, a similar external end stack, both topped with brick and featuring slate drips that relate to the former thatch roof. An attached former farm building is located at the right gable end, while an outbuilding with a corrugated iron roof is attached to the left gable end. At the rear, there is a two-storey outshut with cob in the centre on the first floor.
Inside, the left ground floor room contains an inglenook fireplace with cloam ovens on either side and a moulded wood lintel with ogee stops. There is also a so-called 'coffin trap' in the ceiling. The interior features plank doors throughout and a collar truss roof, which is hatched until around 1940, with six bays visible in the roof space.
