Description
Misons Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1576 above the doorway, with extensions from the 17th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of random rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with saddleback coped verges and finials, along with stone stacks that have moulded cappings. The building is laid out in an L-plan and is two storeys high with three windows.
The gabled porch has a Tudor-arched opening, leading to an inner planked door with strap hinges set in a moulded Tudor-arched frame. Above the door is the inscription: "1576 GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN ELIZABETHE 1576." To the left of the porch, there are two 3-light ovolo-mullioned casements and a lintel string course. On the first floor, there are two 3-light and one 2-light mullioned casements, all featuring hoodmoulds; the left bay is a 19th-century addition. The right side of the building has a wing that projects to the front, which includes flush or ovolo-mullioned casements. The right return features a blocked doorway, a 2-light chamfered mullioned casement, and a pair of sash windows, along with a planked door to the left and a string course above with additional 2 and 3-light mullioned casements.
There is an attached single-storey 17th-century addition to the right that has mullioned casements. The rear of the main range showcases 4-light ovolo-mullioned casements, along with 3 and 2-light mullioned casements on the first floor. Inside, the room to the left of the entrance has deep chamfered cross beams. There is a moulded Tudor-arched doorway at the rear of the through passage, and the rear wing contains a large Tudor-arched stone fireplace with two coppers to the left and a flagstone floor. A stone panel in the through passage is inscribed with "GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH 1575. JOHN MISON AN/ELIN HIS WIFE."
