Description

Colmer Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and probably later. It features rubble walls with stone quoins, and the center and left side are roughcast. The roof is made of corrugated iron, with stone gable coping on the right side and hipped on the left. There are two 20th-century brick stacks, one at the right gable and one to the left of center. The building has two storeys and four windows, which are casements with wooden frames and glazing bars. The lintels and cills are made of wood and concrete. The central door is a plank design with one window opening, and there is a simple wooden porch added in the 20th century.

Inside, the farmhouse has heavy ceiling beams with ovolo and cavetto mouldings in the room to the left of the front door. There is a large open fireplace with chamfered stone jambs and a chamfered wooden lintel above. The interior also features small square-panelled wainscot and plank-and-muntin partitioning, which may date back to the 16th century. The studding is widely spaced, with cob infill that is plastered, resting on a stone sleeper wall, which is likely the original back wall of the house before an existing 17th or 19th-century extension.
