Description
Halfway Farmhouse, now divided into three separate homes, was built in the early 18th century. It is constructed of local rubble stone and has a stone slate hipped roof. The building is arranged in an L-shape. The front of the house, which faces away from the road, is symmetrical with five windows across its two storeys. A central doorcase features bolection moulding and a two-light mullioned window above; a string course runs above the entire front. Flanking the central door are two cross windows on the ground floor, and five cross windows are positioned above. The eaves have a moulded cornice. The left return has a similar central bolection-moulded doorcase and two cross windows to either side, with a string course rising above the door lintel. The first floor of this return also has five cross windows, and the moulded eaves cornice continues from the front. The gable end facing the road has no windows. The rear of the house has later extensions with 20th-century windows, although some replacement windows copy the original mullioned style, and gabled dormers have been added to the roof. The interior was inaccessible during a survey in July 1984, but the house has recently been fully renovated.
