Description

Snelling Farm House is a farmhouse built in 1754 by James Frampton. It features brick walls on a stone plinth, with stone incorporated into the north-west gable wall. The house has an ornamental brick dentil cornice at the eaves and a tiled roof with stone eaves courses. There is a brick stack located in the rear wall. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a later single-storey lean-to at the rear, which also has brick walls and a tiled roof. A brick porch with a tiled roof and a ledged door is present at the front.

On the ground floor, there are three casement windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has four similar windows. A date stone on the front wall reads "J F C" for James Frampton, 1754, and there is a carved stone below this with gothic detail, which is probably re-set. The interior retains some original doors with bolection-moulded panels, a plank and muntin partition leading to the stairs, and a bread oven in the stack that opens into the lean-to.
