Description
Water House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century and later. It features rubble and freestone walls with stone quoins and has a thatched roof that is hipped at the right-hand end. The building has two storeys and approximately six windows across the front. On the left side, there are two stone mullion windows with four lights, which have ovolo-moulds and a label over the ground floor window. The remaining windows are wooden casements with leaded lights, wooden cills, and lintels. The front door, located to the left of center, is a 20th-century design with a window in the top half. There is also a door on the right side that leads into a former cheese-room, which is a plank door with strap-hinges.
Inside, the farmhouse has deep-chamfered ceiling beams with filleted stops and muntins with jowelled heads, which are visible remnants of a plank-and-muntin partition. There is a large open fireplace in the former hall and a dog-leg stair in the door-case to the right of the fireplace.
