Lions Farmhouse

Lions Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with a date plaque indicating 1696. It was modernised and enlarged in the late 19th century. The walls are plastered, and while the original section is likely made of cob on rubble footings, the extensions are constructed from brick or stone rubble. One of the chimney stacks may be cob, another is made of late 17th century brick, and the extension features a late 19th century brick kitchen stack. The roof is slate.

The main block has a two-room plan with a central cross passage and faces east. The left room has an end stack, while the right room has a projecting end stack. The rear blocks, which appear to be late 19th century, have parallel roofs at right angles to the main range and include a contemporary stair and kitchen. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a symmetrical main front that has two ground floor windows and four first floor windows. All windows are similar late 19th century casements, with the first floor windows being half dormers with gabled roofs. The front door, which is part-glazed and panelled, features a slate-roofed monopitch hood on curving brackets and is positioned slightly to the right of centre. The main roof is gable-ended, and the gables, along with those of the half dormers, have wavy-shaped barge boards. The right end stack has weathered offsets, and the original chimney shaft includes a limestone plaque inscribed with "TRA 1696", though the shaft has been extended with late 19th century brick.

The interior largely reflects the late 19th century refurbishment, although much of the 17th century fabric remains in the front block. The axial beam across the right room and cross passage is boxed in, while the beam in the left room is soffit-chamfered with exaggerated scroll stops. Both fireplaces are blocked. The roof was not examined, but the extension of the right chimney shaft suggests that the roof was replaced at a higher level in the late 19th century.
