Description

Fairfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1700. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a double Roman tiled roof with coped verges and gable end stone stacks. The building is L-shaped and has two storeys with five windows.

The central gabled stone porch has been restored and includes a moulded stone architrave leading to a planked door. On either side of the porch are 4-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements, and there is a moulded lintel string course above. The first floor features five 2-light cyma mullioned casements with leaded lights, two of which have quadrant stays. There are also two full attic gables, each with 2-light mullioned casements, and a crown insurance disc on the right-hand gable.

The right side of the building has a cross window with a hoodmould on the ground floor, while the left side has a 2-light mullioned casement on the ground floor and a blocked window on the first floor. At the rear, there is a single-storey service area with a full attic gable that includes a 3-light mullioned casement on the south side, along with a 4-light mullioned casement and a 20th-century door within a 20th-century conservatory.

Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered beams and an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel set on stone jambs. The rear part of the building includes a corn-drying oven on the north side.
