Description
Buddens Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 18th century, with various alterations and additions made in the 19th century. The building features coursed rubble walls and has tiled, gable-ended roofs, although the western extension has a slated roof. There are brick stacks at the ends of the ranges. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five irregular window ranges, showcasing a variety of casements. Some of the casements have full glazing bars, others have horizontal glazing bars, and some have no glazing bars at all. Near the center of the range, there is a plank door that is sheltered by a 19th-century open, gabled, wooden porch. Additionally, there is another plank door located in the western extension.
