Description
Cards Mill Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse with red brick walls laid in Flemish bond, featuring some burnt headers. The building has a slate roof and a galvanised iron roof with gable ends, and it includes three brick stacks—one at each gable end and one in the middle of the house. The layout consists of a house with a dairy and cheese room at the west end, all under the same roof. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five windows, which are three-light wooden casements with small panes set under segmental arch-heads. The front door is centrally located in the house section and features a two-leaf 19th-century door with a brick porch that has a segmental-headed wooden lintel with a straight chamfer, dating from the 18th century. Inside, there are ceiling beams that are straight-chamfered, a wide 18th-century fireplace with brick jambs and a filleted stop-chamfered lintel, and a wide plank-and-muntin partition.
Additionally, there is an attached brick wall that encloses part of the west side of the yard, which is approximately 12 feet high and 30 feet long, also constructed in Flemish bond.
