Description

Black Dog Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse located on Bath Road in Chapmanslade. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features a half-hipped tiled roof with rendered stacks at the gable ends. It is two stories high and has three windows, with the central bay projecting forward. The entrance consists of a central six-panelled door framed by a beaded architrave, flanked by 20-pane sash windows also in beaded architraves. There is a plat band at the first floor level, which has three additional 20-pane sashes.

On the left side, there are two 19th-century sashes on both the ground and first floors, along with a renewed lunette window in the attic. The right side features a 20-pane sash on both the ground and first floors, with a lunette window in the attic. The rear of the farmhouse includes segmental-headed casements, 20th-century casements, and a former 19th-century dairy on the right with brick dressings and 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected. The farmhouse was part of the Longleat Estate until the mid-20th century.
