Description
Galton Farmhouse is a villa-type farmhouse built around 1840. It has brick walls laid in Flemish bond, a brick plinth, and a plat band between the ground and first floors. The hipped slate roof features projecting boxed eaves and parallel ridges, with three brick stacks grouped in clusters of four shafts at the party walls along the ridges.
On the south wall, there is a central porch made of brick, adorned with dog tooth cornices. The building has two storeys and three sash windows on the front, which have thin glazing bars, stone cills, and gauged brick voussoirs with crown glass from the 19th century. The ground floor windows at the front have been replaced with plastic imitations in the 20th century. The porch doorway features a round-arched entrance, and the inner door is a flush panelled and glazed design from the 19th century.
The side walls also have three sash windows with thin glazing bars, dating from the 19th century. The interior has a double fronted and double depth plan, with 19th-century window shutters and four-panel doors. At the rear, there is a service range with brick walls and a hipped slate roof, which originally included a scullery, beer cellar, loft, wood stone, and privy, each with a corresponding door. All doorways have gauged brick arches above them.
