Village Farmhouse

Village Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, now a detached house, dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of squared and coursed rubble with flush rusticated dressed stone quoins, stone dressings, ashlar copings, and stone slate roofs featuring end stone stacks, with the left stack being paired. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a five-window south front that includes three gables in the attic. The windows on the ground and first floors are ovolo-moulded cross-mullions, while the attic windows are two-light ovolo-moulded mullions, all fitted with small pane leaded casements. There is a moulded plinth course and continuous string courses above the ground and first floor windows, which have flush relieving arches above them. The attic windows also feature hoodmoulds and blocked keyed oculi below the gable apexes. A central part-glazed plank door provides the entrance. At the rear, there is a lower contemporary service range of two storeys and a further 20th-century kitchen wing. Inside, the ground floor has chamfered beams throughout, an inglenook fireplace in the room to the right, and a through passage with stone flags. The room to the left has a fireplace with a bolection surround and a moulded mantel. The upper floors were inaccessible during the resurvey.
