East Melbury Farmhouse

The farmhouse dates from the 17th century, with alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble and ashlar with ashlar dressings, and has a tiled, gable-ended roof with ashlar stacks at each end. The building is symmetrical, with three bays, the central one gabled. It has two storeys and attics. The ground floor has stone-mullioned windows with four lights, although these are replacements. Above are windows with three lights. A moulded label sits over the ground-floor windows. The first floor window in the centre is of Venetian style, and above it is a round-headed window with keystones. The central doorway has a stone hood supported on shaped stone brackets. A one-bay extension was added to the south in the 19th century.
