Description
Blackney Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse with a core dating to the 17th century, featuring 19th-century window alterations and later modifications. The building has dressed stone walls and a plain tile roof that is hipped on the left side and gabled on the right. There are stacks located on the left side, set in from the apex, on the right side in from the gable, and on the rear wing at the side wall eaves. The farmhouse is two storeys high and includes a 20th-century dormer.
On the south-west elevation, there are three windows with three-light wooden casements that lack glazing bars and have concrete lintels from the 20th century. The north-west elevation features two- and three-light cast-iron casements with glazing bars, and the ground floor has segmental brick heads that date to the 19th century. The front door, located at the centre of the south-west elevation, has recessed panels with two glass lights and is sheltered by a square brick porch topped with a hipped fish-scale tile roof from the early 19th century. The porch contains a two-leaf plank door. Inside, there is a deep-chamfered ceiling beam in the right-hand room.
