Description
The Old Farmhouse is a 17th-century house constructed from rubble stone, featuring Bridgwater tile and concrete tile roofs. It has two storeys and a 'T'-plan layout. The main range includes a coped gable and a stack at the north end, along with one ridge stack. The west front showcases two dormer gables, each with a two-light recessed cyma-moulded mullion window and a hoodmould. On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a door with a hoodmould, two three-light recessed cyma-moulded windows with hoodmoulds, a 20th-century door in between, and to the right, a two-light recessed ovolo-moulded window with a hoodmould stepped over a former door.
The east front features one dormer gable with a three-light recessed cyma-moulded window and hoodmould, two doors, and a 20th-century porch at the angle to the cross range. The cross range includes a three-bay barn to the east with a lean-to on the end wall, and a cross-wing to the house running west in two sections. The earlier part at the south end of the main range has a ridge stack, with the roof altered in the 19th century. The two-storey south elevation features three-light recessed ovolo-moulded and two-light recessed cyma-moulded upper windows, along with 19th-century four-pane sashes and a door below. The original west end has coping and a stack. The extension to the west has a coped west gable and three-light windows on both main floors, which are flush cyma-moulded with hoodmoulds, and a recessed chamfered window with a dripstone in the attic. The north side has a 19th-century sash window on each floor and a blank two-light flush cyma-moulded window with a dripstone to the left.
Inside, the main range features six similar deep chamfered centre beams with run-out stops. The cross-wing has a heavy beamed four-panel ceiling in the room south of the main range.
