Description

Rodden Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the mid-19th century. It features rubble-stone walls and a slate roof with stone gable copings and scroll kneelers. The eaves project, and there are 20th-century brick stacks at each gable end. The building is two storeys high and has four windows, which are three-light stone mullions with hollow chamfers and separate returned labels above. The 19th-century wooden casements have single high horizontal glazing bars.

To the left of the centre, there is a stone porch with a high gable and moulded kneelers, also covered with a slate roof. The doorway has a four-centred head and straight-chamfered jambs, leading to a two-leaf plank-and-muntin door. Above the front door, there is a plain stone shield from the 19th century. At the rear, there is a wing made of rubble-stone with a Roman tile roof that features cresting, along with 20th-century metal-framed windows and two 20th-century plank doors.
