Description

Cornbury Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1809. It features Flemish brickwork with flush stone quoins and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and consists of four bays. The left three bays are symmetrical, with a recessed six-panelled door located in the second bay, which has a 19th-century pent tiled roof. The door is framed by moulded stone surrounds. The ground floor has 19th-century timber windows with stone ogee moulded architraves and moulded sills. The first floor contains four 3-paned single hung sash windows, also with stone surrounds. A datestone inscribed with DM/1809 is present. There are two gabled late 19th-century dormers, and a large axial stack is positioned before a fourth bay on the right, which is now used as a dining room. The eaves are cyma moulded, and there is a gable stack on the left with the roof hipped to the right. The right bay has been extended to the rear with a two-storey wing dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, and there is a single-storey outbuilding attached to the right of the facade at a lower level.
