Description
Townfield Farmhouse and the attached barn, dated 1786, are constructed from rubble stone and feature a stone slate roof. The farmhouse is two stories with an attic, end stacks, and two ridge stacks. The front has squared rubble stone with a raised band and cyma-moulded flush mullion windows. There are four 2-light windows on the first floor and a 2-light window on the ground floor, along with a blocked door and a 3-light window. The entrance is through a door with a chamfered stone surround set in a broad gabled porch from around 1830-1840, which has a ball finial and a tripartite front with a depressed-arched entry and round-arched sidelights. A date plaque reading "RM 1786" is positioned above the porch. At the right end of the house, there is a slightly projected one-window range with casements above and a door below, which is obscured by a link to a two-storey gabled outbuilding that runs parallel to the front. This outbuilding is made of rubble stone on the east side, featuring an ovolo-moulded 2-light window on the end wall's first floor and attic, while the west side is built of early 19th-century squared rubble stone. The barn, attached to the west end of the farmhouse, has a plain entry on the north side, a projecting hipped south cart-entry, and a 5-bay roof supported by tie-beam-and-collar trusses. The rear of the house has 2-light mullion windows with plain dripstones over the lower windows.
