Description
Skewberries Farmhouse is a toll house that has been converted into a farmhouse, dating from the early 19th century. It features painted killas rubble walls with stone-keyed brick arches and a scantle slate roof that is polygonal over the canted front. The building has a rendered lateral brick chimney on the left side wall and a brick chimney on the rear gable end. Cast iron ogee gutters are present at the eaves.
The layout consists of one room wide and two rooms deep, with a reception room at the front that has a central entrance and a narrower service room behind it. There is a single-storey gable-ended wing from the late 19th century that extends at right angles to the east of the service room. The farmhouse is two storeys tall and has a symmetrical three-window south front featuring a canted bay. The central doorway has a 20th-century door with a blind fanlight above it. The flanking windows are 12-pane, 2-light casements with original intersecting glazing and arched tympana above. The window above the doorway has simpler tracery in its tympanum, while the flanking windows are blind. All openings are topped with shallow two-centred arches. The interior has not been inspected. This farmhouse is notable for being one of the few toll houses in the area that has avoided demolition for road widening or significant 20th-century alterations.
