Description

Oselhay Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1500, with alterations made around 1600 and later. It features rubble-stone walls and a roof made of asbestos slate and corrugated iron with gable ends. The building has two brick stacks, one at the left gable and another at the right former gable end. It is 1½ storeys high and has four windows. The left ground window is a five-light window with hollow-chamfered stone mullions and a returned label above, dating from the 17th century. There are two 2-light windows with 20th-century mullions designed in a late 17th-century style. The dormers are 2-light wooden casements with glazing bars, also from the 20th century. The front door is a plank door from the 20th century, leading directly into the staircase. Inside, there is a plank-and-muntin partition without a chamfer, dating from the 16th century. The ceiling beams are mid-chamfered with tongued stops, from around 1600. Four jointed-cruck trusses with collars and pegs are still present, with one truss showing smoke-blackening.
