Description
Rawston Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse that dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century for the central range, with an 18th-century east range and a 19th-century west range. The early range is constructed of chequered flint and rubble with ashlar dressing, while the other ranges are built of brick, featuring Flemish bond on the main east front and English bond elsewhere. The farmhouse has tiled roofs with end brick stacks.
The main facade is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and attics with five bays. It features greensand ashlar rusticated quoins and a central bay flanked by greensand ashlar pilaster strips. The facade includes 4-pane 19th-century sash windows under segmental brick arches with stone keystones. Two narrow single light sashes are located on either side of the central doorcase, which is partially obscured by a 20th-century rusticated brick and concrete porch. The original doorcase has an 18th-century ashlar pedimented and dentilled architrave with an 8-panel door.
The early range contains two 4-light stone mullioned windows with returned labels; the upper window has ovolo-moulded mullions, while the lower window features chamfered mullions. Inside, there is 17th-century panelling in the original range, and the east range has a staircase with close strings and turned balusters.
