Description

Kington Down Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house with an ashlar front and rubble stone construction. It features double hipped roofs and two stacks in the central valley. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The formal south front includes a raised plinth, a band, and moulded eaves. The windows are set in moulded shouldered architraves, with 16-pane sashes on the upper floor and tripartite 4-12-4-pane sashes below. The central entrance has an arched doorcase with heavy moulded imposts and a scrolled corniced keystone, leading to six-panel double doors and a radiating bar fanlight. There are two blank openings on the first floor at the west end. The rear of the house has a four-window range with a projecting hipped stair tower, and the windows here are also in moulded architraves. Attached to the east end is a two-storey stable range, which includes three 2-light plain mullion windows and two casements above, as well as a ground floor garage door, two doors with hoodmoulds, and a row of six stable doors.
