Dennisworth Farmhouse

Dennisworth Farmhouse, now a house, dates to the late 17th century with subsequent alterations. It is constructed of limestone rubble with stone dressings, featuring a double Roman tile roof with raised coped verges, ridge stacks, and a gable stack to the left with diagonal chimneys. The building follows a T-plan, formed by a rear stair tower.

The main elevation presents two and a half storeys and three windows, all cross windows with leaded lights. These windows feature flat moulded mullions and transoms within recessed architraves, with a continuous hood mould over the three ground-floor windows and the door. There's also a continuous dripstone at the first floor, which returns to the sides. The third bay from the right has a studded door situated within a heavy stone bolection-moulded surround, topped with a broken pediment. Three gables rise to ridge height, two on the right with smaller cross windows and hood moulds. A blank gable, with a stack above, has oval bull's eyes within rectangular surrounds, topped by ball finials. Attached to the left are three small gabled additions of varying sizes: one with a door and porch, another with a cross window and hood mould, and a third with a single light and hood mould.

The left return includes a single-storey lean-to with a 20th-century window, and a two-storey flat-roofed block to the left with a small, segmental-headed stone window incorporating ventilation louvres. The first floor of this block contains a similar cross window with a dripstone, while the gable end features a cross window with a bull's eye above. The right return also has a single-storey lean-to, followed by first and second-floor windows mirroring those on the left return.

The rear elevation continues the gabled appearance of the front, but without the finials. The two and a half-storey stair tower has a gable on all three sides, with a ground and first-floor two-light casement window, a hood mould, lead water spouts, and an oval bull's eye. The left return of the tower echoes the front elevation, with a single-storey lean-to. The right return of the tower features only a second-floor window and bull’s eye, paired with a small single-storey addition and a similar two-light casement. A lean-to extends to the right, covering a cellar entry.

The main house's left side features ground, first, and second-floor cross windows with continuous hood moulds, and a bull’s eye in the gable. A small, similar two-light casement is situated on the ground floor to the left. To the right of the tower are two gables with first and second-floor windows consistent with the front elevation; the ground floor to the right retains the top sections of a former cross window, with a 20th-century door inserted below.

The interior includes a large kitchen fireplace with a chamfered, depressed 4-centred arch. A central hall leads to a fine framed newel staircase, showcasing moulded risers, a carved string, twisted balusters, a heavy shaped newel, a wide moulded handrail, and a panelled moulded soffit. A small door provides access to the cellar, featuring a dentil cornice. Further details are available in archived surveys.
