Description
Colehouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the mid-17th century, with later 17th-century rear wings and subsequent alterations. It is constructed of rubble, partly rendered, with brick and a pantiled roof featuring stone gable stacks, alongside some double Roman tiles. The house is arranged in a U-plan, formed by two rear wings and a projecting front porch.
The main front of the house has two storeys and three windows. The two-storey porch has a 20th-century door centrally placed, with a two-light casement window above, featuring a gauged brick head. To the left of the porch, the ground and first floors have three-light casement windows with timber lintels and hood moulds. To the right, the ground floor has a 20th-century plate-glass window, and above it a single light window with a timber lintel and hood mould. A small single light window, set in an ovolo-moulded frame with a timber lintel and iron stanchion, is positioned at the mid-storey to the right, likely a stair light. Attached to the right is a lower two-storey addition with two 20th-century plate-glass windows on the ground floor.
The right return side shows a gable end of the addition featuring a three-light casement at ground floor and a two-light casement at first floor, and is partly rendered. A two-storey rear wing to the right has a large external stack. The left return side presents large long and short quoins, and a two-light attic casement retaining remains of an ovolo mullion and a hood mould. A straight joint marks the position of a lower two-storey rear wing, which has a door, a two-light casement at ground floor, and another under the eaves, with a double Roman tiled roof and a brick gable stack.
The rear of the main range features a 20th-century lean-to with a door and two single lights between the wings; also present are two three-light casements under the eaves, one retaining ovolo mullions. One wing to the left has a three-light casement with replaced 20th-century ovolo mullions and a hood mould at ground floor, plus a plate-glass sash with a hood mould in the gable end, and a similar three-light casement at the ground floor of the inner side. The gable end to the right shows a line of 19th-century roof-raising. A lean-to has a six-pane light and a door to the side, and the inner side of the wing has a four-light casement with a moulded timber lintel at ground floor and a two-light casement under the eaves.
