Description

Trimnell's Farmhouse is an 1871 estate farmhouse, built for T. H. A. Poynder of Hartham Park. The farmhouse is constructed of squared rockfaced stone with stone tiled roofs, coped gables, and elaborate ashlar stacks to the west end wall, and along the ridges of the east and north ranges. It is two storeys and an attic, with a square plan. It features corbelled eaves and chamfered mullion windows.

The south front has a central dormer gable and a three-window range of cross-windows with relieving arches above the first-floor windows. There is a pair of cross-windows, a gabled porch with a shallow pointed arch, and an inner door with an overlight and a cross window on the ground floor. The east gable end has a single window range. The east wing is gabled to the north, featuring a carved plaque reading T. H. A. P. 1871. A north wing, parallel to the front, is gabled to the northwest angle. A single-storey, small U-plan service court is present with a half-hipped south entrance arch and a gabled northeast building with a pyramidal roofed louvre, topped by a weathervane dated 1871. This is an unusually elaborate Victorian estate farmhouse.
