Description
Hawkeridge Farmhouse, now a detached house, was largely built in the mid-17th century and extended in the 1860s. It is constructed of rendered brick with a Welsh slate roof and rendered stacks, and is arranged in a T-plan. The north-east front has two storeys and two windows. A six-panelled door is set within a cast-iron tent porch to the left of the centre, and to the left is a 2-light mullioned casement window with a hoodmould. The first floor has two cross windows, and the eaves feature a dentilled brick cornice. An 1860s wing extends to the right, incorporating 2-light mullioned casements and cross windows, and a lateral stack with a partially illegible datestone. The rear, facing the farmyard, has a 6-panelled door set within a 19th-century lean-to porch. To the left is a pair of small sashes within a hollow-chamfered mullioned surround with a hoodmould, and to the right is a single sash and a 2-light mullioned sash, both with hoodmoulds. The first floor has three hollow-chamfered cross windows; the lower centre window illuminates the staircase and has a hoodmould. The rear also features a dentil brick eaves cornice. A two-storey 19th-century range is attached to the north-west return, providing casements and French windows.
The interior contains mainly 18th and 19th-century joinery, including six-panelled doors, a dog-leg staircase with stick and turned balusters, and a corner cupboard in the kitchen featuring fielded panelled doors and a dentilled cornice. Chamfered beams are retained in the entrance hall. The original roof structure features four bays; the east end has been partitioned off and contains a 17th-century six-panelled wainscot door.
