Description
Pelsham Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that consists of more than one build. It is constructed from ashlar and rubble, topped with a gable-ended slate roof, featuring stone copings and end brick stacks. The farmhouse has a plat band and a symmetrical main facade with two storeys and five bays. The windows on the upper floor are two-light stone mullioned windows with moulded architraves, while the ground floor windows include aprons. There is a rear wing that is likely from an earlier construction than the main range. Inside, notable features include original collar beam trusses.
