Description
Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1590, marked by the initials RWW on the door head. It has 19th-century re-roofing and 20th-century refenestration. The building features dressed stone walls and a slate roof with gable ends. There are rendered stacks at the gable ends and one brick stack on the ridge, which backs onto a cross passage. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three windows with stone moulded frames, featuring returned labels over the ground floor windows. The ground floor windows have been replaced with 20th-century three-light metal casements. The front door has straight chamfered jambs and a depressed arch head, and it is a panelled and glazed door from the 20th century. There is also a 20th-century porch. At the rear, there is an outshut to the west of the cross passage and a rear wing that is at right angles to the main structure. Inside, the room below the cross passage has an open fireplace with straight chamfered stone jambs and a wooden lintel above. There is a bread oven in the left jamb, which is brick lined and has an iron door. The staircase is located on the back wall and features a semi-circular stone spiral with stone treads that are covered in wood.
