Description
Compton Farmhouse is a farmhouse from around 1860, possibly built on an earlier structure. It features whitewashed chalk with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof with eaves. The building has ashlar stacks at both ends and a ridge stack. It is two storeys high with a front that has four windows, which are three-light leaded stone mullion windows. There are two bays to the left of the door and one bay to the right. The lower windows are adorned with hoodmoulds. The entrance consists of a six-panel door set in an ashlar-fronted gabled porch, which has a Tudor-arched entry flanked by Tudor-arched lancets. At the north-west, there is a rear wing that has a two-window range of similar three-light windows.
