Goatacre Farmhouse

Goatacre Farmhouse is an estate farmhouse built in the mid-19th century, possibly incorporating an earlier structure, likely designed by Henry Weaver for the Poynder estate. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings on the main range, and features an ashlar cross wing with a north end addition made of squared rubble stone. It has stone slate roofs with ornate barge boards on the main gables and paired octagonal ashlar chimney stacks.

The farmhouse is 1 and a half storeys tall and has a T-plan layout with stone mullion windows. The main range includes a west chimney stack and a two-window south front. There are two ashlar Jacobean-style shaped eaves dormer gables, each with 2-light mullion-and-transom windows. On the ground floor, there is an ashlar bay to the left set on a red brick base, featuring 1:2:1-light mullion-and-transom windows, a single light window with a hoodmould to the right, and an ashlar enclosed porch at the angle to the cross wing. The porch has a stepped parapet, a Tudor-arched entry, and a flush chamfered surround to the inner door with applied Tudor detail.

The cross wing has a plinth and flush quoins, with a ground floor canted bay window that mirrors the ashlar 1:2:1-light style, and a first-floor 2-light mullion-and-transom window with a hoodmould. The east side features a chimney gable with two octagonal stacks, a ground floor 3-light mullion-and-transom window with a hoodmould, and a 2-light mullion window above in a gabled eaves dormer. The original north end has flush quoins and a brick ridge stack.

The north addition, made of rubble stone, has a similar side wall chimney gable with an octagonal stack, but features cambered-head casement pair windows—two above and one on the ground floor to the right, as well as one on each floor of the north end wall. At the west end of the main range, there is a 20th-century single-storey brick addition with a parapet and a 1:2:1-light ashlar canted bay on a brick base, which may have been relocated from the west end wall.
