Description
Oakford Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has undergone some alterations in the 19th century. It features coursed rubble walls topped with a slate roof that has gable ends and three renewed brick stacks. The layout follows a cross passage plan, with the stack positioned against the cross passage. The building is two storeys high and has a range of four to five windows on the ground floor. There are two stone mullions with straight chamfers, comprising five and four lights, each with a continuous hood-mould above. The remaining windows are wooden casements with three lights, equipped with concrete sills and modern segmental brick arch-heads. The front door is centrally located, and there is a rear outshut with a catslide slate roof from the 19th century, along with a lower slate roof on the right side.
