Description

Kellygreen Farmhouse is a farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th century, which was partly rebuilt in the 18th century and extended in the early 19th century. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with reused granite quoins and features a rag slate roof with gable ends that continue over a two-storey rear outshot. The building has brick end stacks and a brick stack on the outshot at the rear right.

The original plan of the farmhouse is uncertain, and the interior was not accessible during the survey in 1986, making the chronological development unclear. The house consists of at least two rooms in depth and has a straight joint near the front elevation, indicating partial rebuilding. The entrance is near the center, with the two front rooms heated by end stacks. There is a two-storey service range at the rear, with a kitchen on the rear right, heated by an end stack, and a staircase near the center. A dairy is likely located at the rear left.

The exterior is two-storeys high and has an asymmetrical window arrangement with three windows on the left and one on the right. The windows are likely from the late 18th or early 19th century and include two tall 18-pane hornless sashes on the left, a 20th-century glazed door in the center, and a 30-pane sash on the right. On the first floor, there are two 12-pane sashes flanking an 18-pane sash, with a 30-pane sash to the right. The windows on the left have dressed stone arches, while the ground and first-floor windows on the right have timber lintels.

There is also a slate tombstone attached to the right-hand gable end, with an inscription that reads "Sic transit Gloria mundi. John Rowe, Fecit 1729," which has become partly eroded over time.

Historically, the manor of Kellygreen was owned by the Barrets, who lived at the Barton house on or near this site. In 1838, Gilbert recorded the remains of a private chapel nearby, and several pieces of dressed granite can be found in the garden in front of the farmhouse.
