Castle Farmhouse

Castle Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 16th to 17th century. It is constructed of rubble with heavy quoins and features freestone dressings, topped with double Roman tiled roofs. The building is arranged in an L-plan and has been extended.

On the north (garden) elevation, the main block has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with openings in the plinth. There is one window on each side of a half-hexagon castellated stair turret, and all windows are either one, two, or three-light casements with reserved chamfer or ovolo-moulded mullions. The ground floor windows are set under a continuous dripmould, while those above are under hoodmoulds. To the left, a coped gabled wing that breaks forward features a large relieving arch above the dripmould and a blank attic window. The return of this wing has two-light windows with smaller similar relieving arches, and the stair has single-light windows. The right wing has windows similar to the left but includes a 20th-century casement inserted under the eaves. There is a doorway on the right with a moulded frame and a Tudor arch that includes shields in the spandrels, leading to a five-panel studded door. To the right, there is a further one-storey and attic L-plan wing, with one window in each section. The window adjacent to the main block is a very large 20th-century casement with a relieving arch below a small 19th-century casement. Where the gabled wing breaks forward, there are two windows as seen elsewhere. At the junction of the two roofs of the main block, there is an enormous square stack with four diagonal shafts.

The east return elevation has two storeys and four windows, all of which are two-light casements with edge-moulded mullions, continuous drip and relieving arches below, and ovolo-moulded mullions and hood moulds above. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch on the left.

The rear elevation, facing the road, has a gable on the right with two weathered and one battered buttresses. The main block has two storeys and two windows, all of which are two-light edge-moulded casements under hood moulds. A further small gabled wing breaks forward on the left, featuring one two-light window at each level. A 20th-century lean-to extension fills the return. The interior is not accessible.
