Rezare Farmhouse

Rezare Farmhouse, now a house, was built in the mid to late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The exterior is rendered slate-stone, with some cob at the top of the rear wall, and roughly coursed slate-stone on the additions. The roof is slate-covered. Originally a 3-bay house, it has a lower, gabled range parallel to the rear. The front has two storeys and three windows, with early 20th-century casement windows, except for a late 20th-century casement that matches the style of the others. A central, lean-to glazed porch covers a 6-panel door with glazed top panels and a thin rectangular overlight. There’s an external stack to the left with a lean-to former dairy attached and an integral stack to the right, both topped with red brick. Lateral stacks are on the back wall of the rear range. Attached to the right gable end is a two-storey lean-to, and to the rear of the rear range, there’s a two-storey lean-to with a rounded corner on the roadside. Inside, the left ground-floor room has an open fireplace with a mutilated, chamfered wood lintel and two small clay ovens; an infilled doorway leads to the former dairy. The central hall has early 20th-century glazed floor tiles and a staircase. The open fireplace in the right room has an ogee stop to a chamfered wood lintel and a filled-in clay oven. The kitchen in the parallel rear range has two large, paired open fireplaces to the back wall. The main range has a 17th-century collar truss roof.
