Description
Coxes Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of plastered stone rubble, likely with brick dressings, and features stone rubble or brick stacks with brick chimney shafts, all topped by a slate roof.
The house has a double depth plan built across a hillside, facing southeast. It includes a front and rear room on either side of a central entrance hall and staircase. The principal rooms are located at the front, while the service rooms are at the rear. Heating is provided by gable-end stacks. The building has two storeys with attics in the roof space.
The exterior is symmetrical, featuring a three-window front arranged around a central doorway. The doorway contains a four-panel door with an overlight, set behind a flat-roofed porch supported by circular timber posts and featuring a moulded entablature. Above the door is a 12-pane sash window, flanked by two additional 12-pane sash windows. There are two front dormers in the attic, which are gabled with shaped bargeboards and contain casements with glazing bars. The roof is gable-ended.
The interior was not inspected, but it is suspected to retain original joinery and other details.
