Description

Southsea Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the later 18th century, with a core from the 17th century. It is built of rubble stone and features a hipped valley roof covered with Bridgwater tiles and a central stack. The north front is tall and three stories high, with two windows that have cyma-moulded flush 2-light mullion windows fitted with small-paned sashes. The ground floor includes one window and a door, which may be a 19th-century addition that has a 20th-century hood supported by brackets.

The south front, which is of equal height, has a one-window range of similar 3-light windows set to the right, along with a one-window range of 2-light windows in the west end wall. There is a former dairy and cheese room extension to the west, likely from the later 19th century, which has a part stone-slate roof and two-story elevations featuring cyma-moulded flush mullion windows. The house was converted to extend in around 1975 by O. Brakspear, adding various matching openings on the south side.

Inside, the ground floor southeast room has a stone-moulded Tudor-arched fireplace typical of the 17th century, while the room above contains some early 18th-century fielded panelling. The house does not appear on the 1773 Andrews and Drury Map, although Southsea Barn is marked.
