Description
Saltbox Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1784, constructed of rubble stone with a concrete plain tile roof, featuring coped gables, end wall stacks, and a ridge stack at the original end wall. The building has two storeys and a three-window range. The original house was double fronted with flush quoins and a raised string course. It has two 2-light bead-moulded mullion windows on each floor and a central door. The left ground floor window is larger, featuring 8-pane casements. Between the upper windows, there is a stone sundial. The door is set in a moulded flush doorcase, inscribed with 'Thos. Evill Bathford 1784', and has a hood supported by brackets above it. The left side of the farmhouse includes a 19th-century ashlar extension with 12-pane sash windows on each floor. At the rear, there is an outshut with a door in a chamfered doorcase, along with 20th-century hood and bead-moulded windows.
